Lettering · Other · Black and grey · Photo

A close-up photograph of pale skin with the phrase take me as i am written in black cursive script running horizontally across the lower abdomen. The letters are fine-lined with even weight and a consistent slant, and the ink is solid and crisp against the skin. A dark lace waistband sits at the top of the frame, and the warm, softly lit background is slightly faded in tone.
