free to bee

it was two years ago yesterday that I met my now boyfriend, best friend and state sanctioned domestic partner, majed. it was a south asian film festival at the park on 10th ave. of which we were both at with mutual friends. we sat down next to one another and the rest is history. from the same tattoo we share (a chinese symbol for strength) to our last names (mine zay-no and his say-yess), we've enjoyed magical little moments for 24 months. in celebration of love (it was the official kick off date for gay marriage in nyc. yay!), we got ourselves brand spankin' new tattoos! As anyone who has spent any time with us can tell you, we tend to call each other 'Buug', so our new bee tattoo you see pictured was a symbol to honor our union, in addition to the simple life reminder to just beeeeeeeeeeee. If you're in the Brooklyn area and are looking to get inked, try our Dave at 8 of Swords on North 8. It's clean. He's painless. And we healed up right away with some bad ass bumble bees to shows for it.
