Infinity band tattoo on a middle finger

Hand · Black and grey · Photo

A close photograph of a hand with a black tattoo of a looped, twisted band encircling the base of one finger, resembling a ring. The linework is dark and fairly uniform, with simple grey shading giving the band some depth. The plain red backdrop and close framing keep the focus on the tattoo and the fingers.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The bread has to prove for another hour, and the clock over the range says it is twenty to four, which means Ferris will be down the ladder any minute wanting his tea and asking if the pastry is ready when it plainly is not. You knead anyway. Flour has got into every crease of the galley and into the seams of your sleeves, and you have stopped minding.

Dunmore gave you the loop of brass rod the night before the ship cleared Gibraltar. He had bent it from a spare fitting into a figure of eight, sanded the join smooth with a bit of emery, and pressed it into your palm like a man paying a debt. A cook who keeps the same loop going round, he said, never runs short of supper. You laughed at him. You have worn it on your middle finger ever since, because it stops the rod rolling off the chopping board and because you cannot quite bring yourself to take it off.

Dunmore got off at Montevideo with a bad chest and a pension he had been promising himself for thirty years. The ship went on round the Horn, up past the Falklands and back again, and last month she tied up in the same dock with the same cranes swinging over her. You stood at the rail and watched the gangway for a long time before you understood that nobody was coming down it. Tonight you take the brass off, press it into the centre of the loaf, and let the dough rise over it. Ferris will find it at breakfast in the crust and hold it up to the lamp, and you will tell him it is the only thing on this ship that has gone all the way round and come back to where it started.
