Script quote on a thigh

Lettering · Thigh · Black and grey · Photo

A close crop of a person's outer thigh showing a handwritten-style script tattoo in black ink that reads Not all those who wander are lost. The linework is thin and even, and the lettering runs diagonally across the upper thigh. The image has a warm, soft tone with a blurred light background, and a grey-blue shirt and part of a hand with dark nail polish are visible at the edges.

So do not fret if the next letter is late. I have a pencil, a loaf and a good sense of which way the sun goes down. I will be home for the lambing, and if the spring is there I shall bring you a cup of it, cold enough to make your teeth ache.
