Hi! Do you know what is the meaning of Dichen's tattoo on her ribs?
Hi! In an interview for The Bare Magazine, they did talk about a tattoo - I assume specifically the one on her ribs since it’s visible (though not legible) in the photos:
Bare: We’d be remiss if we didn’t ask about your tattoo. What does it say?
DL: It’s actually a Virgil tattoo, which is hilarious because I didn’t know it at the time, but apparently it’s common to get a Virgil tattoo. I was in Cardiff Castle in Wales, and in the ladies’ tea room I saw one of his quotes: “Love conquers all things, so we too shall yield to love.” So I wrote it down, and at one point I decided to get it inked on myself. I could have many more, but I don’t like sitting in the makeup chair getting them covered all the time.
Growing up, I… I never knew my mom. And when I finally found her, she wasn’t who I hoped she would be. She hurt you… I can’t speak to your mother’s reasons, but for me, sometimes trying to do the right thing, comes out all wrong.

The Images of Severance: Ben Stiller on the Inhuman World of Lumon
Stiller, who directed six of the season’s nine episodes, and cinematographer Jessica Lee Gagné on creating the unsettling imagery inside Lumon, and breaking their own rules.
Into the Black
Fired from Lumon, just after the audience has learned she is actually the wife Mark believed was dead, Ms. Casey is ushered into a black hallway where she’ll ascend the elevator one last time. The pitch-black hallway with its ominous red light has already appeared in the paintings Irving is doing at home—a hint at something future seasons of Severance might reveal.
Stiller: It’s a weird set. It was exciting also because it was a new set too. We talked a lot about the texture on the walls, having it feel like it matched the painting. It’s the most science fiction-y kind of set in the show, just the surreal nature of it. But it was really fun to get in there because you could see like there was just so much negative space. There were a lot of really fun angles to play with.
Gagné: We have a lot of moments where it kind of falls off to darkness in these hallways when they’re walking, like where are they going? It’s like the unknown of Lumon. And this specific component of the show narratively is one of the biggest unknowns, like, where is she going?… It seemed like the black in the underground Lumon world is referring to that unknown, and how much we really don’t know yet.
