Cartoon chameleon on the collarbone

Chest · Colour · Photo

A cartoon chameleon stands upright with its arms folded and a scowling expression, its curled tail coiled at the right. The linework is bold and black, with soft green, yellow and blue shading inside the body. The design sits centrally on the upper chest against a plain skin background, and only part of the wearer's shoulder and hair is visible.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Dear Mr Hollins, I am writing again about the lizard in the Miners' Institute. Since the Tuesday it came up in the coal sack from the Dunmore shaft, it has sat on top of the piano with its arms folded, scowling at anyone who attempts 'Abide With Me' in the wrong key. Old Dai swears it rode up in his lunch tin, and nobody has been able to prove otherwise.

It changes colour when it pleases. On Monday it turned the exact green of the baize on the snooker table, and on Wednesday it went yellow for the bingo cards. On Friday, when the Chairman stood up to speak, it went quite blue, which Mrs Parry says is the most honest thing it has done all year. Every night its tail coils round the brass candlestick, and every morning the candle is lit, though nobody here has struck a match.

We tried to shift it. Gwyneth put out a saucer of mealworms. The creature looked at the saucer, then at her, and folded its arms tighter. The vicar tried a blessing, and it only snorted, a sound like a kettle with a grudge against the world.

Last night I came down at two to lock up and found it had dragged the minute book to the middle of the table and opened it at the page where we voted to close the pit baths. It sat on top of the page, glaring at me as though I were the one who had lost the argument. I have decided it is the union's new representative, and I have written to the area office to say so. Yours in trouble, Irene Pugh, Secretary
