Fandom: Hamlet
Rating: G

Summary: Some things about Horatio's tattoos



I am not dirty
I am marked by my past
Stories behind each scar.

Ink covers my skin
I am canvas and parchment
and hand on the brush.

I see that you thirst
For the promise of wisdom:
Come, then; unveil me.

That says a lot in so few words.

Thank you! Doing that used to be a specialty of mine, good to go back sometimes.
