caslon suicide note tattoo




"I'd noticed the type on his wrist peeking out from his shirt and was astounded to see well drawn typography in a recognizable typeface in a tattoo. It's Adobe Caslon Pro, he proudly told me and gladly agreed to let me photograph him. He told me that the tattoo was a suicide note in its entirety from a psychiatrist in the 1920's."
