Two interlocked hands with small black numeral tattoos in a fine lettering style on the fingers, with silver rings worn on two fingers.

Matching numerals on two fingers

Lettering · Hand · Black and grey · Photo

Two hands are clasped together, with small black numerals tattooed on one finger of each hand. The numerals are thin, neat and slightly rotated, and the linework is crisp against the skin. The image is in warm tones with a shallow focus, and the two tattoos sit close together in the centre of the frame.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Dear Marnie, your ring is still in the chipped dish by the kettle, where you left it the morning after the Ardley Fells race. I haven't moved it. That tells you more about my housekeeping than I'd like, but it also tells you I haven't decided anything, which is the truth of this letter.

You remember the bet. We'd had the numbers done the week before, a daft pair of marks that meant nothing to anyone but the two of us, and we swore we'd run the last stretch together no matter who was slower. At mile nine the rain came sideways off the tops and the marshal at the stile shouted that the lower path was flooded. You didn't even look at the map. You just said, 'Well, we're not going round,' and you took the wall like it owed you money. I've never been so angry or so happy in one minute of my life.

We crossed the line with the chalk already running in the gutter, the numbers smeared to nothing on the tarmac. Nobody asked us what the figures meant. I think that was the best part. I'm writing because the ring is still on the dish and the flat is being valued on Thursday, and I need you to come and collect it before I start making decisions for both of us. Bring the rain gear. I'll make tea that's actually hot this time.
