Believe in yourself script on a wrist

Lettering · Forearm · Black and grey · Photo

The tattoo is the words Believe in yourself written in black handwritten script across the inside of a wrist, with Believe in on the upper line and yourself on the lower line. The strokes are smooth, even and fine-to-medium in weight, with a slightly looped, cursive character. The photo is taken in warm, natural light against a dark laptop screen and keyboard, and a braided cream bracelet with a metal clasp sits just below the tattoo.

I found your old school jotter in the potting shed, the one with the cartwheel of hearts you drew on the cover. On the last page you'd written the same line four times in careful capitals, pressing so hard it came through to the sheet beneath. Believe in yourself, over and over, as if you were trying to convince the paper. I won't pretend I understood it then. You were eleven and furious with the Hendersons' dog. But I kept the page, and I've been reading it over my tea.

The plum you planted by the gate is coming on nicely. Three little green knots on the lowest branch. Mrs Crane says that's a good sign for a first year, though she says most things are a good sign if you squint hard enough. I've put the jotter in the envelope with this, so you can see for yourself how much your hand has changed. Your loops are looser now, and the letters lean like they've stopped worrying about falling over.

Ring on Sunday. Bring the good biscuits, not the ones from the petrol station. Love, Mum.
