Se conocieron en la década de 1990, en un momento en que no había tiendas de tatuajes propiedad de mexicanos-estadounidenses en su vecindario, pero Sparky estaba ganando reputación
Juan Rodríguez, un tatuador que se hace llamar “Monch”, ha estado recibiendo el doble de clientes que antes de la pandemia y tiene reservas con meses de anticipación en su salón en Pacoima, un vecindario de Los Ángeles.
Rodríguez cree que los tatuajes conmemorativos ayudan a las personas a procesar experiencias traumáticas. A medida que pasa la aguja por los brazos, las piernas y la espalda de sus clientes, y ellos comparten historias de sus seres queridos, siente que es parte artista y parte terapeuta. Es común que sus pacientes, que van de los 20 a los 50 años, se hagan tatuajes conmemorativos. “Es una forma poderosa de reconocer la vida, la muerte y el legado”.
Las azaleas, que son parte de su nombre, representan a su abuelo, dijo. Sazalea decidió no hacerse un retrato de su abuela porque esta última no aprobaba los tatuajes. “El ‘te amo’ es algo simple y me reconforta”, dijo. “Me va a dejar sanar y sé que ella lo habría entendido”.
