Music note heart on the inner wrist

Fine line · Forearm · Black and grey · Photo

A black fine line tattoo shows a heart outline made from a continuous stave-like line, with quaver and semiquaver notes scattered around its curves. A treble clef hangs from the bottom of the heart, and the lines are crisp and even against pale skin. The composition is centred on the design, with a soft, warm-toned background and a dark sleeve edge at the right.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The lodger in room four paid for his week in coppers and left a sheet of manuscript paper under the teapot every morning. Mrs Odell at Gull Rest thought nothing of it until the sheets began to show hearts, the stave bent round and closed at the top, with black notes tumbling out of it like gulls off a roof.

He played the fiddle on the harbour wall after dark, always the same tune, and it never stopped. The fishermen said he took no breath between the phrases. He had come off the Penzance boat with a battered case and no name in the book, and when the November gales came up the bay he sat at the window with his pencil, drawing the line round and round without once lifting it from the paper.

Her daughter Nell took the last sheet off the sill and found a treble clef curled at the bottom, where the line dropped down toward the sea. She hummed the tune back at him from the stairs, getting every turn of it wrong and then right. He stopped playing on the wall that night and came in with his hands in his pockets, and said the tune had only ever wanted a second voice.

In the morning room four was empty and the window stood open to the salt air. On the sill was one more heart, and the line ran off the edge of the paper and down the whitewashed wall, the notes trailing after it like spray.
