Matching hamsa wrist tattoos

Fine line · Forearm · Black and grey · Photo

Two people's inner wrists show matching small hamsa designs, each with an outlined open hand, a central eye and a lotus-like base. The linework is thin and even, with dotwork dots scattered around the outline. The tattoos are black ink on skin, and the plain background keeps the focus on the designs.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Sit closer, the fire will only last as long as your patience, and mine. No, leave the bread. Listen. The Dunmere road runs past the last oak before the trees close in, and in those days two women kept a charm stall there, Hessa and her cousin Orla, both with hands that never stopped moving.

The wood folk paid them in salt and mutton for a small mark pressed into the wrist, a hand held open the way you'd hold it up to stop a cart, with an eye set in its palm like a coin in a cup. Orla cut the outline with lamp soot and stone dust. Hessa pricked in the dots around it one at a time, because she said the dots were where bad luck got counted and turned back.

Then came the winter the Ashby boy went into the wood after a strayed goat and did not come out for three nights. Hessa stood at the tree line with a lantern and would not leave it. Orla found her there at dawn, frost in her eyelashes and her wrist raw from holding the lantern up. 'Mark me too,' Orla said, 'so the eye knows which of us it's looking at.' They did it together on the stump, sharing the one needle, and the boy walked out at noon, blinking, with the goat trotting behind him.

People say the hands still hold the gate shut at Dunmere. Mind your step on the way home. The path bends where the wood starts.
