A British woman who is ' married ' to an American killer has had his name tattooed on her face - even though she's only met him once. Naomi Oquendo met her partner, Victor, for the first time in July after being penpals for two years, but she can't spend as much time with him as she might like.
That's because he's currently serving a 24-year sentence after a double killing, after he shot dead two rivals in a gangland hit. He has served 12 years of his sentence, which also accounts for three armed robberies, but he's still got some time left to do.
They're not technically married yet, but they refer to each other as husband and wife, even though Naomi met Victor for the first time in July. They had been penpals for two years, and now she's shared a video of her tattoo online and said "I guess this means forever then."
What do you think about Naomi's relationship? Let us know in the comments...
Sharing her tattoo online, loved-up Naomi, 27, said: "Oh my God, it's so delicate. I love it so much.
"I wish I could take my eyes out and look at it from the side."
Naomi urged her followers to "stay tuned" for her husband's reaction to the inks.
She is very open about the details of her unconventional life as a jail wife and regularly updates her social media followers.
Newly-wed Naomi flew from her home in Manchester to Michigan, US, in July to see the double killer in the flesh for the first time.
She said that her hubby grabbed her face and gave her an "intense kiss" as soon as they saw each other.
She joked: "You know that man has been waiting twelve years.
"That kiss was a 12-year build up of no contact for this man.
"The correction offers were like, 'you can stop now'."
The pair are not officially married yet but refer to themselves as husband and wife.
Despite being banged up, Oquendo has gifted her with an engagement ring, wedding ring and eternity ring.
Talking about her fairytale day, Naomi said: "I got through security, I walked into the visiting room and I could just see the back of his head.
"And I was like, oh my God, he's f***ing real.
"I'm so nervous at this point, my whole body is shaking.
"And then he turns around and looks at me and as soon as I look at him, all my nerves disappear.
"We spent the whole time laughing and feeding each other food."
Despite having never met, Naomi revealed she was comfortable enough to pick food out of Oquendo's teeth.
She even plans to move across the pond to be closer with him.
While in Michigan, she has gone back to Carson City Correctional Facility to see him for a second time.
Oquendo will be eligible for parole in 2034 but could be inside until 2052.
Naomi has started a petition to get her husband granted clemency, which has so far garnered over 26,000 signatures.
She said: "Victor's mother was victim to countless amounts of abuse from his father.
"The situation they faced led to Victor and his siblings being taken into care.
"Victor was in foster care from a very young age and failed by the system.
"The gangs of Detroit offered him the first taste of what a 'family' was and also gave him a chance to survive on the streets -but along with it came a criminal lifestyle.
"I am in no way condoning his crimes, and neither is he. Victor knows he is not a victim nor innocent.
"He is extremely sorry for the crimes he committed, empathetic to the family it would have affected and spends the majority of his time tortured by what he did."
