Handgun and lace garter on a thigh

Realism · Thigh · Black and grey · Photo

A realistic handgun with a leopard print patterned grip is tattooed across the outer thigh, angled diagonally from upper left to lower right. A lace garter band wraps around the thigh and passes behind and over the gun, with soft shading giving the lace and metal depth. The tattoo is rendered entirely in black and grey ink against the skin.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The garter came off first, which Maureen thought was a bad sign. A man who unwinds lace before he sets a pistol on a pawn counter has either rehearsed this or has already decided he will not be back for either. She turned the gun over under the lamp, thumbed the safety, and read the grip where the leopard spots had been worn pale by someone's palm.

Four hundred quid, he said. Four hundred, love, and I'll not haggle. She offered two. He took it without looking at the figure, which told her more than the gun did. Pawnbrokers learn that the things people hurry to sell are the things they have carried longest, and this one had been carried a long time, the bluing gone soft along the slide.

The lace stayed on the counter after he left. It was black, cheap, a little torn at one loop, and when she held it up the elastic still had the curl of having been tied tight for a long while. Maureen folded it into the drawer where she kept unclaimed watches and did not write it on the ticket.

Three weeks later a woman came in asking for the gun by its serial number. Then she asked for the garter. Then she asked for nothing at all and sat on the customer's stool, staring at the empty velvet tray. Maureen slid the lace across the glass to her. It was the only thing in the shop nobody had ever tried to sell back.
