Two people hold hands so that their inner forearms sit side by side, each showing a tattoo. The left tattoo reads MRS. with a Minnie Mouse style head above it, including a small pink bow, while the right reads MR. with a Mickey Mouse style head in solid black. The bold, hand-lettered script and filled black silhouettes are set against a plain light background.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Nobody in Pell Harbour asked Ada Trewin for fancy lettering. They wanted names on shop boards, plain and black, the way her father had taught her with a pot of lamp black and a brush worn down to a point. So when two strangers came off the Tuesday ferry and asked her to paint small words on their arms, she set her tea down and laughed until she had to wipe her eyes on her apron.

The drawing took her an afternoon. She made MRS and MR in a looping hand that leaned into the sea wind, then drew two round ears above each word, the sort a child sketches when nothing else will do. The young woman wanted a bow on hers. Ada mixed a thimble of rose from the jar meant for the chapel door and dabbed it on the tie, and the young man grumbled that his ears looked like a full stop without one. Ada told him a bow made it a sentence, and that he could take it up with the ink.

She inked them on the kitchen table, one arm at a time, the two of them holding hands across the oilcloth so the lines would sit side by side. It took less time than the tea took to go cold. When she asked what came after the dots, they said they hadn't decided, which was the most honest thing anyone had said to her all week.

Come spring the ferryman said they had married at the registry in Lowmoor, and Ada heard the bell from the top of her ladder. Her own board still reads ADA TREWIN, PAINTER, in the same black letters. Pinned above her bench is the paper drawing, two lines of words and two pairs of ears, and when customers ask what it is, she says it is the only commission she ever took on credit, paid in ferry tickets and one very large cake.
