On the night of September 23, I was returning from Manhattan to Brooklyn on the R train after a poetry reading, when Erin sat down next to me. She had this tattoo on her left forearm:
Even Erin would concede this isn't a high-grade, professional tattoo. It was inked by a friend's girlfriend and is an image of the Lone Ranger, based on a printmaking project she did in college in which she envisioned a series of "American Hero Snacks". This was her design for the Lone Ranger Candy Bar. It's an image that resonates with her.
Thanks to Erin for a) talking to this stranger on the subway at night, and b) sharing your tattoo with us here on http://tattoosmonday.blogspot.com/! Hi-yo, Silver, away!
As an afterthought, today marks the 30th anniversary of the death of John Lennon, I would point to this post to remember her fondly.
