Fine line black script tattoo reading fearless, ending in a small solid heart, on the inner forearm.

Fearless script with heart on forearm

Fine line · Forearm · Black and grey · Photo

The tattoo spells the word fearless in thin, cursive script, with the final letters trailing into a small solid black heart. The linework is delicate and even, and the ink is black only, set against pale skin and a light background. The close, angled shot runs the text diagonally across the arm.

Dear Nell, the ewes are lambing early this year and Dad has given up pretending he can stay out of the top field at night. I have taken the lantern from the back porch and I am writing this at the kitchen table with my boots still steaming by the range, so forgive the smudge where the ink ran from my wet cuff.

You asked in your last letter whether I was frightened of the sale. I was, and I still am, but I have stopped saying so to Mum because she only sighs and puts the kettle on. The buyers from Hexham came Tuesday with their clipboards and their grey coats, and they walked the drystone wall like men counting teeth. I held my tongue and kept my hands in my pockets. Somewhere in the middle of their talk I thought of the little tin you buried under the apple tree the summer we were twelve, the one with our names scratched on the lid, and I found I was not so afraid after all.

If you come up at Easter, bring the good brushes. I want the sign over the barn repainted before the auction, and I want it done in your loopy hand, the way you did the word on the feed sacks. I'll hold the ladder. Lock the gate behind you and mind the ice by the trough.

Yours, always, Mags.
