Dachshund line drawing on a wrist

Fine line · Other · Mixed · Photo

A single continuous black line forms a long-bodied dachshund with a floppy ear, short legs and a curved tail. A small solid pink heart sits near the chest, and the rest of the design is plain black linework. The photograph is taken straight on, with the design centred on the inner wrist against pale skin.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The dog came through the gap in the privet at first light, which was the part that stayed with you. The gap had been the width of a fist on Friday. Now it was the width of a rolled newspaper, and he fed himself through it one inch at a time, ears folded flat, the way thread goes through a needle when nobody is watching the eye.

You had seen him before without knowing he belonged to anyone. He wore a collar with a small pink tag shaped like a heart, the paint worn to bare metal along one edge, and when you crouched to read it he sat down among your bean rows and waited with the patience of something that has been sent on an errand. The tag said PIP and a phone number with the first digits rubbed away.

You rang the number from the kitchen. A woman's voice said she had been searching since Tuesday, and then she said the thing you did not expect: that Pip had belonged to her mother, who had lived at the end of the lane and grown the longest runner beans in the parish, and that in eleven years he had never once gone past the bottom of that garden. You put the phone down and looked out. He was lying along the path between the beans and the water butt, nose to the gate, tail to the shed, exactly as long as the gravel. You fetched a garden cane from the shed and laid it beside him. It came up short by an inch. He opened one eye, as if to say the rest of him was still on its way.
