Matching infinity tattoos on two wrists

Fine line · Other · Black and grey · Photo

Two wrists are pressed together, each carrying a matching black infinity symbol with a double-stroke outline and a ring of small dots. The linework is clean and dark, with the dots adding a light dotwork edge around each symbol. The tattoos sit side by side against a pale tiled floor, with the lighter skin tones and soft shadows keeping the focus on the ink.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The ballroom at the Pavilion smelled of Brylcreem and spilt shandy, and Ronnie Pask had never once counted to eight without losing his place. I stood by the cloakroom hatch with my ticket stub in my fist, watching him try. His palm stayed flat on the small of Dora's back as though she might lift off the sprung floor if he eased his grip.

The tattoo happened the week after the August bank holiday. Teddy Lusk ran a cutting room behind the barber's on Harbour Street, and he traced the figure eight onto their wrists with a biro cap pressed to the skin. "Two loops," he said, "so it can go round and never end." Dora wanted the ring of dots too, one for each bar she'd stood on the wrong foot and still come back smiling. Ronnie went first and didn't flinch. Dora held the chair arm and called him a baby for the whole forty minutes, and he told her it was the only thing he'd ever sat still for.

That winter the sailing company wanted Ronnie on the Ostend boat, and he went, because a man with a wife and a stamp book does not turn down steady wages. Dora kept dancing on Saturdays, partnered with whoever could count. On the last night before the hall shut for refit, the band played the slow waltz twice because nobody would leave the floor. Dora lifted her wrist to the strip lights and I saw the two marks side by side on the glossy boards, her ink and the postcard of his that she carried in her handbag. When the doors finally opened, the gulls over the pier were wheeling in a figure eight above the rail, round and round, as if no one had ever told them where to stop.
