Mountain and pine tree thigh tattoo under UV light

Thigh · Colour · Photo

A large landscape tattoo on the outer thigh shows a mountain range outlined in glowing blue, with shaded pine trees in the foreground and a scatter of glowing dots above as stars. The photograph is taken under ultraviolet light, so the UV ink lines appear bright blue while the black and grey shading of the trees and mountain sits in darker tones. The composition runs diagonally across the leg, with the peaks on the right and trees at the bottom.

Put that torch down, lad, and sit where I can see your face. You've been staring at the ceiling tiles since two o'clock, and they've nothing new to say. Let me tell you about the summer my mother worked the linen store on Ward Seven, the one with no window, when Sister Mallory decided the damp was getting into the sheets and brought in a lamp that turned everything the colour of a gas flame's blue heart.

Under that lamp the dirt showed up that the eye missed, and it showed something else too. On the back of the store door, someone had drawn a mountain range in a pen that glowed like a stripe of frost, with pines standing black at the bottom and a scatter of dots above for stars. A boy called Owen had done it during his long stay on the children's ward, with the art trolley's fluorescent ink, and the night staff had hidden the door from the cleaners for thirty years out of pure affection.

My mother switched the lamp off each night to save the bulb and sat in the dark with her tea going cold. Then, at four, when the corridor was at its quietest, she'd flick it on again just long enough to find the peaks, count the stars, and check the old lines were still holding. Nobody ever asked her why. The sheets were always dry, lad. She just liked to know where the mountain was.
