Be happy script on upper arm

Fine line · Upper arm · Black and grey · Photo

A fine line script tattoo reads be happy in a single flowing line of lettering, with a thin wavy stroke running beneath the words and off to the right. The linework is delicate and even, rendered in a dark brown or black ink with no shading. The photograph is taken close up on the upper arm against a yellow and teal top, with the tattoo placed across the centre of the frame.

Dear Maureen, the wire fence is down again on the Halloran side, and the ewes have got through to the turnip field, so you can tell your mother that her precious Tuesday market trip will have to wait until Mr Pryce has been and sorted it. I have not forgotten the postcard you sent from Morecambe with the wavy sea on the front, all lines and no colour, the way you always drew water. Your father read it aloud at tea and then went quiet, which for him is a sort of compliment.

The wind came off the tops again last night and took the washing clean off the line, so I spent an hour in the lane with the sheets wrapped round my head like a ghost. Mrs Tennant from the post office laughed until she had to sit down on the step. She asked after you particularly. I told her you are in Lancashire learning to be a proper secretary and that you write letters with more loops in them than a bell rope. She said that sounded like you.

I found the old tin of pencils in the dresser drawer when I was looking for string. There is only one with a proper point left, and I have kept it for you, so come home at Christmas and bring your handwriting with you, because I want to see you write our names on the cake box the way you did when you were nine. Mind the train at Oxenholme. Be happy, love. Write on the back of a bus ticket if you have to, but write.
