Infinity symbol on the top of a foot

Other · Black and grey · Photo

A bare foot with a single infinity symbol tattoo on the upper side, near the ankle. The linework is dark and the loops are shaded with grey tones to give a slight three-dimensional effect, with two small dot shapes sitting along the upper loop. The image is a close, slightly angled photo on a light cloth, with part of another tattoo and a hand visible at the edges.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The cord had been cut once already, and Mother Ness would not let it be cut again. She sat by the fire at Carrow with the loop across her knees, rubbing the knot with her thumb until the wax came up warm.

Ada Tennant and Hal Brewer came to her the week before the Rushen Fair wedding. Ada brought a jet bead from her mother's neck. Hal brought a grey river stone he had turned out of the mud at the weir the summer his boat was lost. Ness threaded the bead and the stone onto doubled flax, one on the upper loop and one on the lower, then tied the ends so neatly that nobody could find where they met.

"You'll slide them," she said. "When you are cross, you move your bead round to the far side and wait there. The cord goes on and on, and you never come to an end of it. Nothing is lost. It is only moved."

They laughed and said the old woman was soft in the head, and they were married on a wet Saturday with the church door propped open for the smoke from the hog roast. Forty years went by. The cord hung on a nail in the kitchen, and the jet had worn a pale patch where Ada's thumb had pushed it round, and the stone had gone smooth as an egg. When the couple's granddaughter asked why they never cut it, Hal only nodded at the bead and said, "Watch it. It's still going."
