Black fine line script tattoo reading what if you fly on the side of a torso, above a patterned blue top.

Script quote reading what if you fly

Lettering · Ribs · Black and grey · Photo

A black script tattoo reads what if you fly, with a long flowing stroke leading into the words and a curled tail on the final letters. The linework is thin and even, and the ink is solid black on pale skin. The text sits horizontally across the side of the torso, just above the patterned blue and black top's edge, with the frame cropped close.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Dear Marguerite, the signal failed again at Harrowgate this morning, so I sat on the bench outside the buffet with your scarf across my knees and watched the pigeons argue over a sausage roll. Mr Pennock came out of the signal box with his flask and said the 7.42 would be late, which is the first honest thing anyone has told me since Tuesday.

I have been meaning to write since the fair. You stood on the lip of the big wooden horse with your hands in your pockets and said that every girl in Leeds could walk the high wire if she only knew what the wind wanted, and then you asked me the question I still can't answer: what if you fly? I laughed at you. I am sorry for it. I have turned the words over every night since, the way you'd turn a sixpence, and I think they were never a question at all but a dare you were too shy to finish.

The train is in now, steaming like a kettle. I am taking it to Sheffield to ask about the aerial rigging job the advert mentioned, and I am going to lie about my experience with some conviction. Keep the scarf. It smells of your mother's kitchen and I cannot stand it on me.

Yours, if you'll have me on the platform, Tom
