MOM and DAD profile tattoos on fingers

Traditional · Hand · Colour · Photo

Two matching finger tattoos show a woman's profile with dark hair and a red flower, labelled MOM, and a man's profile with a green bowler hat, a moustache and a red neckerchief, labelled DAD. The bold black outlines are filled with flat red, green and skin-toned ink, with red blush on the cheeks. The two designs sit side by side on the fingers, with partial tattoos visible at the edges of the frame.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Walter Pyke had been painting shop signs in Tallow Lane for thirty-one years, and in all that time nobody had asked him for two faces on the same board. "Mom and Dad, side by side," said the girl at the door, rain dripping off her hat brim. She wanted them in profile, noses nearly touching, as if they were about to argue over the last slice of plum cake.

He mixed the green himself from verdigris and linseed and used the good red from the tin with the cockerel on the lid. The woman got a flower in her hair because her mother had worn one to the Whitsun fair in 1911, the girl said. The man got a bowler because his own had blown into the millpond the week before the war. Walter kept his brush steady along the black outlines, thick as a bootlace, the way his master had taught him, and said nothing about how the girl's hands shook when she counted out her coins.

When the board went up over the bakery door the following Saturday, a woman in a grey coat stood underneath it for a long time. She read the two words twice, then reached up and touched the painted cheek, where Walter had dabbed on the blush with his thumb. "Dad always said I had his nose," she told nobody in particular, and walked off towards the forest road before anyone could ask her in for tea.
