Matching sister quote tattoos on ribs

Lettering · Ribs · Black and grey · Photo

Two people show matching black script tattoos along their ribs, each a line of text in a flowing serif-style hand. The left reads "There is no better friend than a sister..." and the right reads "...and there is no better sister than you", so the two lines read as one sentence across the pair. The ink is solid black with fine, even linework, set against bare skin with a brick wall and patterned clothing in the background.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The boat would only take one of them across to the mainland, and the ferryman, Old Tam Breck, said so with his hand already on the rope. Morag stood on the slipway with her sister's bag over her shoulder and did not hand it over.

"Then we'll go together or not at all," Ailsa said, and the wind took the words and threw them out over the grey water like gulls.

Folk on Skerra said the two girls had been split from one sentence long before they were born. Their grandmother had cut a slate in two, one half for each, and the words were the thing the sea had worn into it: a single line that only made sense when both halves were set side by side. Nobody on the island could remember who had written it. Morag kept her half in a tin under the bed, and Ailsa kept hers in her coat pocket, worn smooth at the corners.

So Morag sat down on the wet stone, unbuckled the bag, and took out the slate. She set it against her sister's knee. The first half said there was no better friend than a sister, and the second said there was no better sister than you, and when they fitted the edges the crack in the middle closed like a mouth. Tam looked away and pretended to coil the rope. The boat went without them that morning, and the one after, and by the third they had stopped counting the crossings.
