Matching infinity and heart tattoos on two feet

Fine line · Other · Mixed · Photo

Two small tattoos of an infinity symbol intertwined with a heart outline appear on the tops of a pair of bare feet, one on each foot. The linework is thin and solid, with no shading, and the heart is drawn in red while the infinity loop is blue. The feet rest on a teal tiled floor, with the tattoos placed near the centre of the frame.

Sit down, child, the bench is wet but it has seen worse. You want the tale of the two shoemaker's daughters at Kessel Bridge? Then hush, because the river listens too.

The bridge was the border, and the middle of it was a line of white paint the guards renewed every spring. Ilse crossed each morning to sell eggs on the far bank, and her sister Marit crossed each evening to sing in the chapel on the near one. They were not permitted to speak across the paint, so they learned to talk with their feet on the stone steps. Two taps for yes, one for no. Nobody thought a girl's tapping was worth writing down.

That winter a tinker came through with a satchel of needles and ink, and he offered to mark them for a loaf and a bed by the stove. He drew a red heart and, looping through it, a blue line that folded back on itself with no beginning and no end. He told them the mark would hold a promise better than any letter. Ilse laughed. Marit did not.

In the spring the guards began searching for a smuggled ledger, and every woman with a blue or red mark was hauled from her queue. The officer turned Ilse's foot over in his palm, saw the heart and the endless loop, and frowned at the twin on the step behind her. Marit had lifted her own foot to match. He asked what it meant. Ilse said, the one that goes on. He waved them through, because a sister is a sister as long as she has the same mark, and a sister on the wrong side of the paint is still on the right side of the story.

They say you can still see the white line on the bridge, and beside it, scratched so faint only a barefoot child would find it, a red heart with a blue loop running through.
