Red handwritten script tattoo reading Let's Rock on the inner wrist and forearm, shown in a lettering style.

Let's Rock script on a wrist

Lettering · Forearm · Colour · Photo

The tattoo is two lines of red handwritten script reading Let's Rock, set on the inner wrist and forearm of a light-skinned arm. The linework is a consistent, moderately thin single-needle line with looped letters and a flowing baseline. The plain pale wall behind the arm keeps the focus on the red ink, and the photo is taken straight on.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The amp hummed through the wall of the rehearsal room long after the others had gone home, and I sat on the stairwell of the Hollis Street building with my sleeve pushed back, reading the words I'd had written on me in a basement in Deptford. Dev had insisted on red, because the bass player's mother had once told him red was the only colour that doesn't fade into a bruise. I'd laughed. Now the ink sat under the strip light like a thing I'd argued myself into and couldn't argue out of.

The needle had been a squat little man with reading glasses pushed up into grey hair, who hummed Fleetwood Mac between passes and never once looked at my face. He asked what I wanted and I said two words, and he said that's a terrible tattoo for a person who doesn't know what she's doing, and then he drew it anyway, loops and all, freehand, with the apostrophe sitting over the t like a little flag. It took eleven minutes. I counted, because counting was easier than feeling.

The bus came round at half past one. I rode it to the end of the line with the windows fogged, and when the driver asked where I was headed I didn't have an answer ready, so I just stayed on. The band had a gig in Brighton on Saturday and nobody had asked me to play it, and that was fine. Let's rock, the wrist said, every time I reached for a handrail. It was a bit daft. It was also the only instruction I'd given myself in a year that I'd actually followed.
