Matching mountain line tattoos on wrists

Fine line · Forearm · Black and grey · Photo

Two palms face the camera with a matching mountain range tattoo on each inner wrist, one on the left wrist and one on the right. The mountain outlines are drawn in thin grey linework with soft grey shading on the slopes, giving a faded, lightly blended look. The image is in natural colour with a mossy green and brown background, and the tattoos sit centred above the wrist creases.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The bus from Keld Cross ran only on Thursdays, so Nell Harrow had to be at the stop by seven or not at all. She carried the sketch folded inside her glove, the ridge of Scarrow Fell drawn from memory, its peaks like a row of tired dogs settling into the grass. Her sister Joan was already on the bench, pencil behind one ear, scowling at the hill as if it owed her money.

Mr Dunning at the post office had said the fell was a landmark for drovers and nobody else. Joan disagreed. All spring she had copied its outline onto the backs of ration book pages, rubbing the slopes with her thumb until the grey settled where the cloud lay thickest. 'It isn't a mountain,' she said, 'it's where the sky leans on the ground.' Nell thought it looked like a bruise, said so, and they argued the whole length of the lane.

On the Thursday night they sat at the kitchen table with a bottle of Indian ink borrowed from the schoolroom and the steel nib that had been their father's. Joan drew first, a slow line across the inside of Nell's wrist, then Nell did the same for her. The ink bled where the skin creased, so the peaks came out softer than the paper ones, bluer at the edges, as if the weather had got into them.

The bus came on Friday and took Joan to the city and the mill. Nell stood at the window and watched the real fell stay put behind the hedgerows. Each morning she held her wrist up against the glass and matched the two lines, and each morning the ink had paled a little more, until one day the fell was the only ridge still clear enough to see, and she could not have said which of them was the copy.
