The Scarlet Letter

This is Brent's tattoo from The Scarlet Letter.

A slightly gaudy version of Nathaniel Hawthorne's scarlet letter. I experienced a nearly identical story of that of Hester Prynne in my life. After spending so long being treated like "that adulterer" it was only fitting to get the mark.

    i think we should see a bigger, or wider?, picture of this tattoo only to better read it in its context
