Two clasped hands show matching double line band tattoos in dark blue ink on the ring fingers, with a music note tattoo visible on the arm.

Double line bands on ring fingers

Fine line · Hand · Colour · Photo

Two hands are pressed palm to palm, each ring finger carrying a matching band of two thin parallel lines. The linework is simple and even, filled in a dark blue-violet ink, and the lines wrap fully around the finger. A music note tattoo is partly visible on the arm at the left edge, and the warm, dim lighting gives the photo a casual, close-up feel.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Dear Marjorie, the piano in the front parlour has gone quiet again, and I think it is because Mr Adeyemi has finally run out of the hymn he keeps trying to finish. You would laugh. He plays it wrong on purpose so that Mrs Pryce will come and sing the wrong words back at him.

I have something to tell you and I am going to say it plainly before I lose my nerve. The lad who carries the coal up the back stairs, Tomasz, has been walking out with Edie from the laundry since Whitsun. Last Sunday they came down to the shingle with two thin lengths of blue thread, and they tied them round each other's fingers while the tide came in over their shoes. Thread, Marjorie, not rings. Edie says rings cost money and thread only costs an afternoon. Then Tomasz went to the tobacconist on the front and had the same two lines inked on him by a man with a cough and a lamp, and Edie had hers done the next morning, so they are both marked now and neither of them is sorry.

I watched them hold their hands up against the window of the dining room this evening, palm to palm, so the blue lines lined up like the rules in a ledger. Mrs Pryce said it looked like a bet. I said it looked like a promise that had been properly paid for.

Come back at the end of the month. The sea is still grey and the chips are still greasy, and I want you to see it before the summer boarders take the good room.

Yours, with the piano lid shut for once, Vera
