To you, the lovers,
As I sit down to write this letter, I’m tapping my pen struggling to find the right words. How do I say this? What will happen? Our journey together has been one of the most beautiful chapters of my life, filled with love, laughter, and countless memories that will forever hold a special place in my heart.
I remember the first time almost every one of us met. Some of your smiles light up the room, some command it with their presence and others were more quiet and unassuming but how effortlessly we connected is evident in the relationships we still have today. From those moments, my life changed in ways I never imagined. You all became my confidant and my friend. We’ve shared so much—our dreams, our fears, and our deepest secrets. We’ve built a bond that, even now, feels unbreakable.
But as life often does, it has its own plan for us. This decision to close The Lovers Tattoo is not one made lightly or without pain. It comes from a place of love and respect. I want you to know that this is not the end of our story, but a new chapter in which we both seek to grow.
You have taught me so much about love, patience, and resilience. You’ve shown me what it means to truly care for something, to support it and give everything I have. For that, I am eternally grateful.
As we move forward, I want the artists to know that I will always cherish the time we’ve spent together. The love we shared was genuine and profound, and it will forever be a part of who I am.
Please take care of yourselves everyone, and remember that you are deeply loved and appreciated. That will never disappear. It will continue to live in the memories we’ve created and in our future paths crossed.
Thank you for being a part of my life, for loving me, and for allowing me to love you. I wish you all the best, now and always.
With all my love,
Dick Lattanzi
P.S. Come support the artists this month and continue to support them in their new homes for me. It’s gonna be a real tear-jerker of a couple weeks.
