I really enjoyed this piece.

I like how you didn’t try to grab onto some deeper meaning as to why that image and subsequent tattoo made your brain fire. And I also really liked the way you told the story. Great read.

This is such a lovely, deceptively simple graphic that once it’s “understood” can’t be improved on... as your tattoo artist realized. I first came at it from a top down perspective, which didn’t work. Once I associated the graphic with “conversation” I realized that it had to be diagrammed as ascending. (If the arrows were changed so it cascaded downward it would just be a diagram for mansplaining!) 😊
