Strong Angel Tattoo is a tattoo shop and nail parlor all in one, with living quarters above the shops. Here is where Joe and Chuy strong make their home with their dog Rasta. Initially the residents though Joe and Chuy were normal civilians, until Joe was forced to reveal their identities after an onslaught of supernatural creatures arrived in Midnight.
Joeseph "Joe" Strong is a fallen angel. Despite being fallen, he still retains his angelic abilities and his angel wings. One of Joe's abilities is reading minds and seeing premonitions of the future. He often paints these vision on canvas in his studio.
A thousand years ago, Joe was an avid demon hunter. Alongside his advisor, Bowie, they triumphed over demon kind. Bowie relished the hunt, but Joe did not feel suited for such a life.
Joe first saw Chuy on the silk road in southeast Asia. Chuy was bartering with merchants for porcelain. The price for porcelain was too steep and Chuy started off when the merchants attacked him from behind. Joe stepped in, flashing his wings and frightening the merchants. Joe helped Chuy to his feet, noting that his shoes were missing and he bled black demon blood. Chuy could've easily fought back. When questioned by Joe, Chuy simply stated, "Maybe they needed the sandals more than I did."
It was in that moment, Joe realized everything he had been told about the evil nature of demons was untrue. This began a centuries long relationship between Chuy and Joe, which would eventually evolve into marriage.
Chuy Strong is the half demon husband of Joe. Chuy was born to a human mother and a demon father. Joe helps Chuy keep his demon side in check and Chuy helps Joe maintain his secret identity.
