Fine line black script reading family inside an outlined heart that loops into an infinity tail, tattooed on the inner wrist.

Family script in a heart on a wrist

Fine line · Other · Black and grey · Photo

A single continuous black line forms an outlined heart, with the word family written in cursive script across its centre. The linework is thin and even, with the heart's lower point extending into a looping, infinity-style tail. The ink is solid black on pale skin, shot close up against a dark background.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Snow had shut the Hawes road for three days, and the Crooked Lamb had eleven guests and one kettle that still worked. Nell Harrower counted the bread twice before breakfast and then gave up, because the number never changed no matter how she sliced it. Upstairs, the commercial traveller who had come in on the last cart was teaching the stable boy to write his name in one unbroken line, the way his own mother had taught him on the back of a shipping label.

"You don't lift the nib," he said, drawing a loop on the steamed glass of the taproom window. "Lift it and you've started a different letter. Keep going and it comes round to where it began." He drew a heart with a tail that dropped down and curled back on itself like a rope knot, then wrote a word through the middle of it in slanting, joined letters. Nell read it upside down and felt the cold of the flagstones come up through her boots.

The thaw came on the fourth morning, all at once, with dripping eaves and a brown river running across the yard. The traveller paid his reckoning in coins still warm from his pocket and left before the coach horses were harnessed. Nell went to wipe the window and found the heart had survived the night on the inside of the glass, faint as breath, its tail still looping back to the place it began.
