Maybe by removing the Superman tattoo, you'll realize that you needn't be a Superman yourself and start loving Lane for his spirit, creativity, and heart, not for whether he's crushing his goals.

And "hi" to you too, from Melbourne.

Mostly I forget that I even have tattoos. I wish my pink lotus flowers had remained as vivid as the day they were inked, at least I have a photo.

"There are glyphs representing other pieces of art and ideals I’ll encode in my skin."

I love this line.

I've wanted a tattoo for years and years and years but just never committed. I've been very undecided on what exactly I want and where. Someday, though.

Keep meaning to drop by here more and read more of your writing, so wanted to drop by and say so. 👋

"30º and raining frozen broken glass" is the best description of Chicago weather I've heard in a while. Thanks for such a lovely introduction! I look forward to catching up on your work and reading what you'll be sharing in the future.

I look forward to what summer brings you! Happy to be along for the ride. As for the tattoo, do what you want. You can cover it, add to it, remove it, and even replace it in the future if you’d like. So many options!

Hi Lane 👋. I actually love the tattoo, and love the ambition more. Can’t wait to read what you have lined up.

If my right leg gets cut off just slightly below mid-shin, will you still call me superman??

If I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand???

Getting a design over the top of Superman will be less painful, and cheaper. Because of the color and shape, you'd need to find a design in black, with an arena of density.
