Maleficent and green dragon on a forearm

Neo-trad · Forearm · Colour · Photo

The tattoo shows the Disney character Maleficent in profile, holding a staff, with a large green dragon coiling behind her and a scroll-like shape at the lower left. The linework is heavy and dark, with smooth gradient shading in greens, purples and yellows. The design fills the forearm, with the dragon's head at the top and the staff and scroll sweeping down the left side against a light background.

He says that is how you know she is watching.

Last night the swell came up flat and wrong and the trawl snagged on something heavy. We hauled and hauled, and what came up was a scroll of sailcloth, painted gold and green, with a seal in wax the size of my palm. Skipper tried to throw it back. It would not leave the deck. The wax was warm.

I have it wrapped in oilskin under my bunk and I have not opened it. Tell Mam I am well, and if the tide turns, tell her I have kept my promise about the boots.
