Two feet on a carpet, each with a matching fine-line black script tattoo of the word sorella inside a looping flourish, placed on the ankle.

Matching sorella script tattoos on two ankles

Fine line · Ankle · Black and grey · Photo

Two bare feet rest on a textured green carpet, each showing a matching black script tattoo of the word sorella set within a looping flourish. The linework is thin and even, with no shading, and the second word is rotated because it is on the other foot. The ink is black on skin, and the close framing centres both tattoos.

Dearest Nonia,

The ship came in on the ninth day of the sailing month, and the cargo was worse than the sea. Father's wine went sour in the hold, and the captain swore he would not carry another crate of Gaulish dye. I write this on the step where we used to count the fishing boats, with the lamp already guttering because I could not wait for the oil merchant.

You will laugh, but I went to Marcus the needle-man by the fish market. He has pricked half the dockhands of Ostia with anchors and eagles. I asked him for a loop, a ribbon that runs once around and then folds back on itself, and inside it the word soror written in the thin hand of the scribes who taught us our letters. He thought I was mad. I told him my sister was across the sea and the loop was the only road between us that would not sink.

Mother says the mark will fade within a year. I told her it will last as long as we do. Come home or send word, and tell me whether the Britannic wind has finally made you cross enough to write me a letter as long as this one.

Your sister, Livia
