Black script tattoo reading thick and thin inside a looping infinity and heart outline on a forearm.

Thick and thin script within an infinity loop

Lettering · Forearm · Black and grey · Photo

The tattoo shows the words thick and thin in cursive black script, one above the other, set within a continuous line that forms an infinity loop and a heart shape. The linework is bold and even, with solid black ink and no shading or colour. The design fills the centre of the frame against plain skin, with a blurred background at the edges.

You will remember Father's way of putting it. He would wet a finger, hold it up to the wind off the harbour, and say the sea is thick at the mouth and thin at the turn, and so are people, and you only find out which when you go out in it. We thought he was being clever. I think now he was just tired and fond of us both.

Your room is as you left it, except I moved the spare blanket in case the damp gets into the wool. The letter from the London office came Tuesday. I did not open it. It has your name on it, and I would rather you read your own bad news in your own time.

If it is thin out there, come back on the Saturday bus. The back door is on the latch and the kettle is full. Thick or thin, Bea, the step is still ours to sit on. Nora.
