A cartoon character sits in an orange armchair, holding a bowl of cherries, with a flat grey and red ribbon banner above reading I APOLOGIZE and another below reading FOR NOTHING. The linework is bold and dark, with flat fills and soft shading on the banners. The design is in full colour, mainly orange, yellow, red and grey, and fills the upper arm with the banners framing the figure.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Albert Pinnock had sat in the same orange armchair since the spring the council drained the duck pond, and in all that time he had never once apologised for anything. Not the cherries he ate before his wife could count them, nor the twelve-second nap during the harvest supper, nor the dog. His neighbours had given up expecting it. What they did not expect was the pamphlet.

It arrived at Hollins Lane folded in three, printed on the back of a seed catalogue. It offered a service: for one bowl of cherries, Mr Pinnock would deliver an apology to anyone in the village, on any subject, in person. Wren Ashby, who ran the shop, said the handwriting was definitely his, because nobody else in Hollins Lane spelt apologise with a z.

So on Thursday the Vicar got a visit. Pinnock lowered himself onto the vicarage step, cracked a stone against his teeth, and said, "I apologise." The Vicar waited. "For nothing," Pinnock added, and shuffled home looking very pleased with himself.

By Saturday half the parish had been apologised to. The butcher was sorry about the sausages. The postman was sorry about the weather. Nobody knew quite what to do with it, and in the end the whole village found itself saying sorry back, just to be polite, until the pub ran out of bitter and the parish council set up a bench for the purpose.
