Two matching solid black cat silhouette tattoos with heart-shaped tails and script words Mother and Daughter on a pair of forearms.

Matching cat silhouette tattoos for mother and daughter

Forearm · Black and grey · Photo

Two near-identical tattoos sit side by side on the inner forearms, each showing two black cats seen from behind, sitting close together. Their tails curve up and meet above them to form a heart shape, and the cats are filled with solid black ink with smooth, bold edges. Black script reading Mother sits beneath the left design and Daughter beneath the right, on a neutral skin tone against a grey background.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

At Hollin Cross the last train was always late, and the two black cats waited for it on the platform bench. The old queen had arrived with the station house the year the line opened, and she had outlived three stationmasters and a flood. When her knees gave out, her daughter Pell took the bench for her, sitting always on the left-hand side where the lamp warmed the wood.

The porter, Walter Dunne, liked to say they were counting carriages. He brought them a saucer of milk from the staff kettle, and they sat with their backs to the rails, tails curling up and over until the tips met above them like the handles of a basket. Pell never moved from her mother's side, and when the signal lamp swung green she was the first to lift her head, listening for the engine coming over Brayford bank.

One January the old queen did not come down from the signal box stairs, and Walter found her curled on a folded coat. He buried her under the hawthorn by the coal yard. That night the last train came in with its brakes hissing, and Pell sat on the bench alone, her tail held in the same bent curve, leaning toward a place beside her that nobody could see.

Walter kept the saucer filled through the spring. Nobody told the driver why he began easing the train to a stop at Hollin Cross, though the timetable gave no reason for it. The passengers grumbled about the wait, then looked out and saw the cat on the bench, sitting close to the empty half, and they grumbled less.
