Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description

A title in the short and fast-paced series Quick Reads. A picture on skin, that is what a tattoo is. But for those who come to Ows' tattoo studio - and for Ows himself - they are a symbol of something deeper than just a decoration in ink on their skin. Everyone has their reason for having a tattoo, and it can sometimes be an unexpected one.

Beth yw’r stori tu ôl i’r tatŵ? Yn Inc , nofel newydd Manon Steffan Ros yn y gyfres Stori Sydyn/Quick Reads, cawn ein cyflwyno i Ows – dyn sy’n anhapus yn ei waith fel artist tatŵs. Mae’n teimlo bod bywyd wedi troi’n wag, yn ddiflas, yn anniddorol a digariad wrth iddo orfod gadael ei gartref a’i deulu a gweld ei fywyd yn cael ei droi ben i waered. Mae siwrnai Ows yn llawn emosiwn a phoen wrth i bob tatŵ ddweud stori ac agor ei lygaid unwaith eto. Bu Ows yn creu gwaith celf ar ffurf tatŵs ar groen cleientiaid o bob math yn ei stiwdio. Er lles ei ferch, mae’n ceisio gwneud bywyd newydd iddo’i hun, a thrwy greu tatŵ er mwyn helpu ffrind newydd, mae’n sylweddoli pa mor debyg yw’r golled mae’r ddau ohonyn nhw wedi’i chael. Cawn gip ar fyd Ows wrth iddo hel atgofion mewn dyddiadur sy’n cynnwys lluniau tatŵs o’r gorffennol. Wrth weithio ar datŵ o gyrn carw llifa’r atgofion ’nôl am adeg pan oedd Jen, ei gariad ers dyddiau ysgol, yn ei garu. Mae dawn Manon i greu tensiwn a theimlad yn galluogi’r darllenydd i gydymdeimlo â’r cymeriadau a byw’r stori trwy’r geiriau a’r tatŵs. A ddaw rhamant yn ôl i fywydau Ows a Jen?

What’s the story behind the tattoo? Ows is a tattoo artist – the central character in the latest Stori Sydyn/Quick Reads novel by Manon Steffan Ros, Inc. He’s unhappy in his work and feels that life is passing him by, especially after his marriage breakdown and leaving the family home. Each new tattoo reminds him of the emotional pains he has experienced. Ows has been practicing his art on the skins of his many clients in his studio. He had to leave home for the sake of his daughter, but while creating a new tattoo for a friend he realised that common threads ran through the loss that both of them were suffering. We gain an insight into Ows’s experiences as he recalls his journey in a diary that also includes examples of his tattoo work from the past. It is whilst working on a special tattoo of the antlers of a reindeer that the memories of his love for his wife, Jen, come rushing back – they had married soon after leaving school. Jen loved him then. Manon’s way with words, and her skill at creating tension and feelings, allows the reader to sympathise with the various characters, and live the story through word and tattoos. Can Ows and Jen rediscover their lost romance?
