MFA

There are around ten people in the world with an MFA, or Martin From Argentina, tattoo made by me.

I don’t remember the exact number, nor the names of the people who spontaneously decided it was a good idea to trust a random Polish (Argentinian) guy to tattoo them in the middle of the night—drunk and/or high.

The whole MFA thing started when I realized that people don’t actually listen to me. So I began testing how far I could push things. I pretended I could speak Spanish, with surprising success, managing to hold conversations using just a few words (people really like to talk about themselves). Then I started introducing myself as Martin from Argentina (still not speaking Spanish), and somehow, it worked a few times.

This whole story says a lot about me, Puerto Escondido, and the wild chapter of life I’ve been privileged to experience.
