Matching heart sunglasses tattoos on two forearms

Fine line · Forearm · Black and grey · Photo

Two arms are pressed side by side, each carrying an identical outline tattoo of heart-shaped sunglasses. The linework is thin and black, with no shading, and the design is set against plain skin. The background shows a denim jacket and dark clothing, and the photograph is cropped so that no faces are visible.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Dear Ottilie, the glasses you left on the bench outside the chip shop have been on my nose every morning since Tuesday, and Mrs Pardoe at the ferry office has stopped asking me to take them off. You swore they were lucky and then went off across the water without them, so I have decided they are ours now, yours and mine, since I was the one who sat with them in the drizzle for an hour waiting for you to come back.

The lenses are heart-shaped, which I still think is an outrageous thing to put on a pair of spectacles. Through them the harbour turns a shade of pink that no sensible sea should wear, and the gulls look like guests who have come to a wedding and forgotten the gift. I bought a second pair from Dunmere's stall on Friday for a pound, the wire a bit bent, the lenses a little scratched. I want you to take them across with you so that when you look back at the headland you will see what I see, though it will be pink and foolish and mostly my fault.

I have put them in the envelope with this letter, folded inside a sock so they do not rattle. Do not wear them in the rain, because the hearts fog up and you will walk into the bollards. Write when you land. If the ferry is late, look for the lighthouse, and if I am on the sea wall with my own pair pushed up on my head, wave, because I will be pretending I was not waiting.
