Lace corset full back tattoo

Botanical · Back · Mixed · Photo

A large back piece shows a lace corset with laced eyelets, a heart-shaped panel at the centre and a floral lace motif spreading across the shoulder blades. Fine linework and grey shading build the lace texture, while two roses and bows in red and pink add colour at the lower back and the top of the design. The image is centred on the back with a plain dark background, and the head is cropped out of frame.

She thought of the heart-shaped panel Mrs Hollis had cut from the Nottingham net, the one kept back from the bride's order, and of the young carter who had brought the bolt up the hill that morning and not come down again to ask for his wages.

Mrs Hollis tied off the last bow at the small of Ada's back and tucked two silk roses beneath it, the ones left over from a funeral wreath. "There," she said, brushing the lint from her palms. "Now go and find him before the wasps find the windfalls."
