The photograph shows the word fighter tattooed on the inner wrist, with part of a hand with fingers visible above it.

The image is in black and white, with the wrist centred and the lettering sitting in the lower middle of the frame against a plain grey sleeve.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The portable came in on a Tuesday wrapped in a bin bag, its carriage jammed halfway across like a bus door that would not shut. Its owner, a retired postman called Desmond Pryce, said his late wife had typed on it every evening for forty years and he could not bear to throw it out. I freed the carriage with a drop of oil and an hour of patience, then rolled a clean sheet in to test the keys.

The ribbon was nearly spent, but the word came up grey and stubborn, line after line: fighter, fighter, fighter. Every e had its little eye filled in and every r had its hooked tail. Desmond stood at my bench turning his cap round in his hands. "She did that when the letters were slow coming," he said. "Typed it to keep her spine straight, she used to say."

I did not know what to say, so I said the g was the trouble, and it was. Its hammer had a flat spot from years of striking. I filed the face, reset the spring, and typed the word once more, slower this time, so he could hear the clean click of each letter landing.

He paid in coins he counted twice and carried the machine out under his arm like a loaf. Through the window I watched him stop at the kerb and tap the top of the case twice, the way you would knock on a door you expected to open.
