By aleksandrakv @AleksandraKv :
His tattoo sleeve is just beautiful! I agree with Craazyforadam's idea from yesterday that one of the meanings is comparing the original sin, eating from the forbidden tree of knowledge..., with what is perceived as Adam's sin, illustrated by his Lusus Naturae tattoo. Thus, Adam emphasises how unfair, unjust and ridiculous both concepts of sins are.
I think that could be the main idea behind it. Plus, many more: the Adam and Eve story provides basis for the belief that the humanity is in essence one single family (which is a Christian doctrine and I can see Adam relating to that), or in Jewish tradition, the Tree of Knowledge and the eating of its fruit represents the beginning of the mixture of good and evil together, which I can see Adam relating to as well.
But there are no Adam and Eve in Adam's tat, only the serpent, which could represent the trickster, the temptation, and the apple, which comes from the tree of knowledge; which could all mean that he doesn't want to live in 'paradise' (absolved from his so called 'sins') if that requires living in ignorance... or that he chooses his ways because the alternative means not knowing - about himself, about a significant part of the humanity - and living in the darkness of ignorance.
I don't know, it's not finished, but I do know it is simply beautiful. I can't wait to see it done.
Glee news are also fantastic. It feels like renaissance in Adam's world:)))

"Welcome to my world of truth.
I don't wanna hide any part of me from you."
I think Adam is proud of being a rebel. His temptations bring him joy and self knowledge.
