Cat eyes tattoo on a thigh

Thigh · Mixed · Photo

A close photograph of a feline face tattooed across the thigh, showing two large teal cat eyes with vertical pupils. Fine dark linework outlines the eyes, brow and whiskers, while the eyes carry soft shading and colour. The tattoo fills the centre of the frame against plain skin and a dark background.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Dear Frank, the cat was back on the chapel wall on Tuesday, sitting with its tail wrapped round its feet like a coil of wet rope. You will remember it. Those eyes, teal as the water off the breakwater in August, with the pupils gone thin as a door left ajar. Mrs Tully swears it is the same animal that sat in the ticket office at Hollin Cross the year the line closed, though she says that of every grey tom in the parish.

I did not tell her what I told the vicar, that I have seen it three evenings running at the bottom of the lane, always just where the lamp reaches and never a step further. It waits until I turn back toward the house, and then it is gone, though I never hear it go. Your father would have called it a bad omen and gone straight to the Crown. I have started leaving the back door on the latch, which is foolish, I know, but the kettle seems to boil better when I do.

The letter from the Admiralty came on the Thursday, so I have had the saucer out since. Milk on the step each night, and a dish of fish heads from Pearson's on Saturdays. It is never empty by morning, and the saucer is never scratched, so I have stopped asking which of us is being looked after. Your blue jumper is still folded over the chair. I found it on the table yesterday, neater than I ever manage, with one grey hair caught in the wool.

Come home when they let you. The cat and I will keep the lamp lit.
