Jamie & Jamie met in a tattoo studio. One Jamie had booked an appointment for a tattoo she’d been thinking about for years; the other was the artist holding the needle. A two-hour session turned into nonstop conversation about music, bad relationships, and all the strange choices that had brought them there.

After that, they kept finding excuses to see each other. Coffee became late-night concerts, spontaneous road trips, and evenings spent playing guitar on the floor of their apartment. Eventually, moving in together just made sense. They don’t call what they have romantic, they’re best friends, creative partners, and chosen family. They share a home, a record collection, and far too many tattoos. As they joke, having the same name was the first sign that life had plans for them.
