Two forearms are shown side by side, each with a matching stick figure girl holding a thin string that rises out of the frame. The figure on the left wears a polka dot dress and the figure on the right wears a striped dress, with fine black outlines and minimal shading. The tattoos are in black ink on a neutral background, with the forearms filling most of the composition.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Ada had the string wound twice around her wrist before the wind had properly got into the kite, and Mary Lou was already shouting that it was her turn. The kite was a diamond of brown paper that Grandad Pennock had pasted over two cane struts in the back kitchen, with a tail of knotted rag that cracked like a whip whenever it got cross. Their street ran down to the gasworks at the bottom of Hallam Road, and above the cinder heaps the sky was the colour of wet slate, the kind of afternoon that gave a kite nothing to push against but was good enough for two girls.

Mary Lou took the reel when Ada's arms ached, and for a while they passed it back and forth without speaking, the line humming between them like something alive. Ada stood close enough to feel the warm pull of the cord each time Mary Lou let it run. Above them the kite climbed past the chimney pots and the church spire until it was a speck with a stripe of bright paper underneath.

Then the gust came off the moor and tore the reel out of Mary Lou's hands. It skittered across the cinders and fetched up against a fence post, and the string went up and up until the last knot slid off the end and the kite was gone over the rooftops towards Leeds.

They walked home without saying much. At the gate Ada held out her wrist, where a red groove had been pressed by the cord, and Mary Lou dropped a half-penny into her palm and said, "That's for the next one." Ada kept the coin in her shoe for years and never once wished it back into the sky.
