Meet the Tattoo Artist with Two Hot Boyfriends

Take a look at the tatted up polyamorous throuple

While many couples have healthy and happy monogamous relationships, not everyone is content committing themselves to one person. Polyamory has existed since the beginning of human existence, however, only in recent years has it become an accepted lifestyle in Western society. Many celebrities have gone public as polyamorous, including Bella Thorne, who was in a relationship with both musician Mod Sun and YouTuber Tana Mongeau for several years. Yet, it’s important to recognize that there are many different types of poly relationships. For some, they have separate relationships that they openly communicate with their different partners. Whereas, for others, they participate in group relationships, such as a throuple. Throuples are three people who have an equal emotional, romantic, and sexual relationship between them. And for this trio in South Africa, they’ve found that happiness comes in threes.

Ali: South African Polyamorous couple. I’m Ali, and on either side of me is Damian (shaved hair) and Matty (dreadlocks). To cut a very long journey short… Damian was my ex-husband and Matty was my ex-boyfriend. I dated Matty for 2 years after Damian and I had ended our marriage (we were together for just over 7 years). After Matty and I broke up the guys became best friends. So alike in so many ways yet so completely different at the same time. I have always loved the both of them which caused a lot of internal battles within me for the longest time, and they both love me in the most beautiful and unconditional way. When I got back from spending three months away in Europe the three of us connected on an emotional and intimate level. They told me stories of how they referred to me as ‘our ex’ ‍♀️and we cleared the air on a lot of things that have happened in the past. There was so much understanding given and received in that moment. That evening led to something neither of us will ever forget… It was the most beautiful and natural experience either of us have ever had. At the end of an incredible weekend the guys brought to the table that the three of us could explore a relationship together. It took a little convincing but we all decided to give it a shot. It’s been two blissful months now and although we are still working out some kinks, the journey thus far has been so raw and honest and explorative. I’m so grateful to be loved by these men and to be a reflection of that love back to them. So this page is dedicated to the journey of a polyamorous-polyfidelity-polyaffective relationship, creating an openness and awareness for something that might look like it’s out of the norm because of what we have been programmed to think about the meaning of love and relationships. This is dedicated to true unconditional love and a beautifully unique story. How wonderFULL is this life…? ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #polyamorous #polyfidelity #polyfidelitous #polyamorousrelationship #polyamory #polyamorous #polytriad #polytriadlove #polytribe #unconditionallove #triunity #dreadlocks #tattooedcouple #awareness #consciousrelationships

Ali Jones is a 29-year-old tattoo artist from Cape Town, South Africa. In 2013, she married a man named Damian Grundy, however, their marriage soon fell apart. Then, Jones went on to date a man named Matty Ruchton after her divorce in 2017, but stayed friends with her ex-husband. Yet, Jones quickly began to feel torn between Grundy and Ruchton, later calling off her relationship.

“So there’s this boy and this boy, The way they make me laugh, The way he smiles, The looks he gives me, They give me butterflies, They are my best friends, They are my partners in crime, They are my love, I love him more because he loves him, And I love him because he loves me to love him.” ••••••••••••••••••••••• best weekend ••••••••••••••••••••••• #polyamorous #polyfidelity #polyfidelitous #polyamorousrelationship #polyamory #polyamorous #polytriad #polytriadlove #polytribe #polytriangle #unconditionallove #trifecta #triunity #relationshipofthree #dreadlocks #datenight #menageatrois #tripod #polyamorousrelationship #nonmonogamy #lgbtq #polylife

But it wasn’t until the trio had a threesome that they began to explore the possibility of being a throuple. Both Grundy and Ruchton had become close friends, bonding over shared interests and a mutual ex. Now in 2019, they live together as a throuple and according to Ali, “We all just balance each other out really well. We all add such different things to each other’s lives, so what I get from Damian I may not get from Matty and vice versa.”

Ali: Matching African inspired X tattoos. It’s a funny story… ☺️ The night this beautiful journey all began, the guys told me that they had jokingly and lovingly nicknamed me ‘our ex’ while I was away (as Damian is my ex husband and Matty is my ex boyfriend, who became best friends while I was out of the country). So we came up with a name for our triad called the X’s…. which then became The Xtra’s. ‍♂️ ‍♀️ ‍♂️ So this little marking signifies the beginning of the crazy, love filled journey and a whole new uncharted, untouched worldly experience ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #polyamorous #polyfidelity #polyfidelitous #polyamorousrelationship #polyamory #polyamorous #polytriad #polytriadlove #polytribe #polytriangle #unconditionallove #trifecta #triunity #relationshipofthree #dreadlocks

In addition to going public about their less than ordinary relationship, the trio even has matching tattoos that symbolize their mutual love for each other.
