Cartoon tattoos on a leg

Traditional · Thigh · Black and grey · Photo

A woman in a dark dress and burgundy wedge shoes lifts one leg against a dark wrought iron gate, showing a cluster of black and grey tattoos on her shin and thigh. The tattoos are bold, cartoon-like designs including a rabbit head, a cat face, a flower and small creature figures, drawn with clean outlines and solid fills. The face is cropped out and the background is muted, so the tattoos are the clear focus.

Now sit close, because the rain's loud enough to cover a whisper, and what I'm about to tell you is nobody's business but the gate's. Every Thursday, when the stallholders pulled their tarpaulins over the bread and the rags, a painter named Tobias Quill hung his flash sheets from the iron railings by the north entrance so the drawings could dry in the damp air. He drew the same few creatures over and over: a rabbit with a bent ear, a cat with a face like a folded napkin, a daisy with more petals than sense, and a row of small round things the stallholders called soot-sprites because they were black and nobody had ever asked their names.

One wet night the ink began to run. The rabbit slid off its paper, shook itself like a drowned dog, and hopped down the gate scroll by scroll. The cat followed, grumbling that the cabbage stall smelt of cats already. The daisy stayed put, because daisies don't like to be rushed, and the soot-sprites went up and down the railings like a dropped stitch unravelling. By midnight the market had gone quiet, and only old Quill was left under his umbrella, trying to pin the sheets back before the morning crowd.

He found the daisy waiting for him at the gate, and it told him, with some dignity, that the others had gone to fetch the button from the fishmonger's drain. Quill never did learn how a button got into a drain, but at dawn the cat came back with it in its teeth, the rabbit was asleep in a crate of carrots, and the sprites were polishing the railings with their small black hands. He pinned the sheets up again, and not one creature has been seen off the paper since, except on Thursdays, when the rain comes in off the river and nobody looks too hard.
