Close-up of a black and grey lettering tattoo on the back, reading you are every reason every hope and every dream ive ever had in a typewriter-style font.

Typewriter quote tattoo on the back

Lettering · Back · Black and grey · Photo

The tattoo is a two-line quote set in a typewriter-style typeface, with the words spaced across the skin in a centred block. The linework is fine and even, with the ink in soft grey and black, and the letters are slightly blurred at the edges. The photograph is taken close up under soft light, with a dark garment fabric across the top of the frame and plain skin filling the lower area.

Dear Nell,

Keep reading

The machine in the net loft has a dead e, so I have typed every e with a pencil stroke above it, which you will have to forgive. Skipper says the fleet will be back on the Thursday tide if the wind holds off, and if it does not, then it will be Saturday, and you know what Saturday means in this town.

Last night off the Dogger we hauled a bag so heavy the winch groaned like a dog under a cart. Forty crates of plaice, Tommy said, and he was not wrong, though he said it with his hands over his eyes because the gulls had got into the cod and were tearing at his sleeves. I thought of your letter about the lodger's cat and laughed until I was sick over the rail, which Ada Pryce will tell you was the only good thing I did all week.

I have been working on the thing you asked me about, the one I could never say out loud on the quay. Here it is, typed plain, so you cannot say I mumbled it: you are every reason, every hope, and every dream i've ever had that did not involve a boat. The carriage is back at the margin and the bell has gone, so I must stop.

Keep the lamp lit on the step. I will read the rest of your letter at the wheel.

Yours, Walt
