Fine line · Hand · Black and grey · Photo

Two hands rest close together against a plain light background, with silver rings stacked on several fingers. Small tattoos sit on the fingers, including a crescent moon on the left hand and an om symbol on the right hand, drawn in thin, simple linework. The photograph is entirely black and white, with soft lighting that keeps the focus on the hands and the fine detail of the ink.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Hettie laid the rings out on the velvet tray in the order the customers would want them, which was never the order they had come in. Tam, who had swept the stall's floor since the autumn, asked why the crescent moon always went on the first finger, where it would wear away first. Hettie said a moon is only half a thing until someone carries the rest of it, and a ring that is worn thin has done more work than one kept in a box.

The woman who came after the lamps were lit wanted a band widened, not mended, because her father had worn it for forty years and it had grown tight on him at the end. Hettie didn't take the silver. She sat with it on the anvil in the cold, turning it in the light from the stall's paraffin lamp, while the fair thinned out around them and the gulls went quiet over the Water of Leith.

By morning the woman had gone and the ring was on the tray, wider than it had been, with a tiny om stamped inside where no one would see it unless they took it off. Tam looked for the hallmark and found none. Hettie was already packing the mallet into its canvas roll, humming the note she always hummed when a job was finished, and she did not explain it. She only pushed the tray an inch toward the edge of the table, the way you do when you expect someone to come back for their change.
