Matching black band tattoos on two ring fingers

Fine line · Hand · Black and grey · Photo

Two hands are held together with their fingers interlaced, and each ring finger carries a thin, solid black band tattoo. The bands are simple unshaded lines with crisp edges, and the skin tone is pale with natural creases and light texture visible. The dark background and soft blurred light at the lower edge keep the focus on the hands and the two matching bands.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The ring toss at the end of the green had been losing money for three seasons, and Mags Harker, who kept it, said the only reason she didn't pack it in was the bands. She kept a tin of thin black ones in her apron pocket, cut from a length of rubber hose that had once fed the generator. Anyone who won a ring on the last Sunday of the fair could take a band in exchange for a promise, she said, and the promise was simple: say it out loud where the other could hear.

Tom Auden came down from the colliery village with a pocket of coppers and lost eleven throws in a row before he asked for a band. Rosie Lowther, who ran the candyfloss next door, had been watching him lose for the best part of an hour. She walked over, lifted a ring off the post, and slid it onto her own finger without looking up. "Then I'll owe you one," she said, "and you'll owe me the same."

They stood by the carousel while the organ wound down through its last tune, and neither of them said much. Mags swore afterwards that the bands had been cut from the same length of hose and would never come off, though nobody believed her. What folk remembered was the dark line on each finger catching the lamplight as the fair packed up around them, and Rosie laughing at the cold.
