"With you, I am home" script lettering
Lettering · Black and grey · Flash
A handwritten script phrase reads "with you, I am home." in black ink on a cream background. The strokes are fine and fluid, with looping ascenders and a long sweeping flourish under the word "you". The lettering fills most of the centred square with generous space around it.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction
The envelope had been propped against the kettle since Tuesday, and Maureen kept walking past it the way you walk past a dog that might bite. Her son's handwriting slanted forward like it was late for something. She had read the first line twice before she sat down at the table with her coat still on.

He had written about the flat in Bermondsey with the broken lift, about a landlord called Mr Okonedo who kept a parrot that swore in Yoruba and English, and about a job in a print shop where they let him stay late to fold posters. He wrote that he had stopped waiting for the phone to ring on Sundays. Near the bottom, in a different pen, he had added that he had found a stall on Cable Street selling blue glass bottles, and that he had bought one for her, though it had cracked on the bus.
She pressed the paper flat under her palm. Outside, the wind kept shoving at the window frame, and somewhere below a car alarm gave up and went quiet. She reached for her biro and turned the envelope over, meaning to write back the usual things about the weather and the bins. Instead she wrote the four words she had been too proud to say on the platform in March, slowly, so the loops would hold. Then she sealed it, stamped it crooked, and went to find her coat, which she was already wearing.
