Purple watercolour rabbit on a forearm

Realism · Forearm · Colour · Photo

A rabbit's head and one dark eye emerge from a wash of purple, blue and black shading that fades into loose splatters towards the wrist. The fur is rendered with soft, blended edges and the eye has a sharp highlight for detail. The photo is taken from above on a wooden floor, with the tattoo filling most of the frame.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Maud Carrow had the ovens lit before the milk van rattled past the end of Hollis Lane, and by half four the place smelled of scorched sugar and wet flour. The rabbit was already waiting under the proving shelves, the way it always was, its grey ears flat against the wall tiles and one dark eye fixed on the bread trays. Her uncle Ray had given it a name in the first winter, Dunstan, though nobody had ever seen it leave the building or come in through a door.

Ray had one rule about Dunstan. Nothing from the morning batch, not a crust, not a seed. Maud kept to it through three years of flour dust and bad tempers, though she sometimes left a saucer of cold water by the bins and told herself it was for the cat. The only thing the rabbit ever seemed to want was to sit in the warm air above the blackcurrant vat, where the jam simmered purple and sticky before it went into the pastry, and to watch.

One morning the vat boiled over early. Violet steam rolled across the floor, and when Maud waved the cloth at it, the rabbit was gone. In its place were little dark splatters across the tiles, leading out through the back door and along the frosted yard in a trail that thinned towards the canal. She followed them in her apron and clogs, past the dripping lock gates, until the splashes ran out on the towpath.

Dunstan sat there at the water's edge with his fur gone soft and smudged into the mist, as though someone had washed him in a dye that hadn't quite set. He didn't look round. Maud put a warm currant bun on the wet stones, went back to the ovens, and by the time the sun came up over the chimneys, the splatters had dried into the cobbles like a map of the nights she had spent awake.
