1533-07: Caroline, 31 ans, Policière. « J'ai fait mon tatouage par amour, à 24 ans. Avec mon futur mari, nous sommes allés main dans la main chez le tatoueur et avons choisi de réaliser la même pièce, comme poursceller notre union : ce dragon qui couvre mon dos? Ce fut symboliquement aussi fort que l'échange d'alliances quelques mois plus tard à la mairie. Depuis nous avons divorcé. Et j'ai sérieusement pensé à avoir recours

au laser pour gommer toute trace de ce tatouage. Mais peu à peu je me suis réapproprié ce dragon, il est devenu une partie de moi. »

murderers, probably some members of the organised crime. Rosa Franco, Maria Isabel's mother, managed to identify one of these murderers, a cartel member aged of 47, but he was assassinated not long after hiscrime.
