Fine line · Ankle · Black and grey · Photo

A small black line drawing of a camper van sits on the outer ankle, with a simple outline, a side window, a few panel lines and round wheels. The linework is thin and even on pale skin, with no shading or added colour. The foot is shown from the side in a sandal against a car interior, with the tattoo placed near the centre of the frame.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The side door had given up at the Pembrokeshire turn-off, so Ruth drove the last nine miles with one elbow pinning it shut and the other hand clamped to the gearstick. Behind her the kettle rattled on its hook and the spare tyre hummed a single flat note on every bend. Her uncle had named the van Gwen, after a hymn he never once sang, and he had kept her going for thirty years on stubbornness, tinned peaches and a good deal of swearing.

The sea opened at the top of the lane, grey and wide, with a row of fishing boats tilted on the mud like tired dogs. Ruth parked on the gravel above the harbour wall, beside a sign that warned against overnight camping in a font someone had clearly chosen to discourage it. She pulled out the envelope he had left tucked under the dashboard, the one marked for after. Inside was a page torn from a road atlas, a pencilled cross on a cove, and a note in his square capitals: THE HEATER IS A LIAR. GO ANYWAY.

She walked down with a flask and a folding chair while the wind tugged at her coat and the van's side door swung open behind her, as if it had been waiting for company. Nobody else was on the sand except a man in waders working a bucket of mussels, who didn't look up. Ruth poured the tea, then took her uncle's old walking stick and drew the van in the wet sand: the box of it, the square window, the two round wheels. The tide came in slowly and took the wheels first, then the window, leaving only the long flat line of the roof, which seemed about right for a van that had never been in any hurry.
