The arm is photographed outdoors in daylight against a striped top and a blurred sea and sand background.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Kieran, the lift on nine has been out since Tuesday, so I've been doing the stairs with the shopping like a mountain goat, and Mrs Okafor on eleven says I'm too old for it. I told her I'm not too old, I'm only slow. Your dad would have laughed.

You asked me on the phone whether I'd noticed you'd changed. I said you sounded like a stranger with my son's voice. Then you laughed and said yes, I'm changing, Mum, the way you'd say pass the salt. I've been turning it over since. On Saturday I went to the chippy and the girl behind the counter had a plaster over her knuckle and a book of crosswords under her arm, and I thought, good, she's the sort who'll get on.

The lads have painted over the tag on the bin store, the one with your name and the Gunners crest. Someone has scrawled a new one underneath in black capitals, neat as a shop sign, no name, just the words. I stood there with the bag going cold and read it three times. Could be anyone. Could be you, at two in the morning with a marker, telling the block what you've become.

Send me a photo of the sea when you get there. Not the flats, the sea. I'll pin it by the kettle next to the one of you at six with a shark's tooth round your neck. Love, Mum.

P.S. The lift is fixed. I took the stairs anyway.
