Two matching fine line script tattoos on the inner wrists reading 'our bond is everlasting', each ending in a small heart charm.

Matching 'our bond is everlasting' wrist tattoos

Fine line · Forearm · Mixed · Photo

Two arms are held up with the inner wrists facing the camera, each carrying the same script phrase 'our bond is everlasting'. The lettering is thin and delicate, with a small heart-shaped charm and a fine dangling line at the end of each phrase, the left one in red and the right one in grey. The text is centred on each wrist against a plain background, with the two tattoos mirroring each other.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The red balloon got away from us before the first petrol station, and by the time Rosa had pulled onto the shoulder it was a dot over the salt flats, drifting west as if it had somewhere better to be. Mum had bought it in a gift shop in Barstow for a dollar, a heart on a ribbon, and it had been Rosa's job to hold the string. She had kept it looped around her wrist the whole way, the way you do when you're nine and everything matters.

Nobody cried. We were too hot for crying. Dad sat on the bumper with the road atlas open across his knees, tracing the highway with a finger that wouldn't quite keep still. Rosa took my biro and wrote on the inside of my wrist, the way she did when we were kids and wanted to pass secrets without anyone else hearing. She wrote the thing Mum always said at bedtime, the soppy thing we had both agreed we would never say out loud: our bond is everlasting.

Years later I had the words inked on the inside of my own wrist, in a small shop in Hastings where the artist kept a jar of pear drops by the till. I asked him for the heart too, and a fine grey line trailing off the end, the same length as the string had been. Rosa rang from Nevada when she saw the photo. She said the balloon was probably still up there, somewhere over the Sierras. I told her I'd keep hold of my end.
