Fine line black lettering tattoo reading Curiosity often leads to trouble along a person's hip and upper thigh.

Quote tattoo along the hip

Fine line · Thigh · Black and grey · Photo

A person in a grey vest top rests one hand on their hip, showing a thin line of script along the side of the hip and upper thigh. The words read "Curiosity often leads to trouble" in delicate fine line lettering with even, unshaded strokes. The single dark ink tone contrasts with warm skin, and the tattoo runs horizontally across the lower part of the frame.

Put that spoon down, Mr Pellow, and listen, because I'll not tell it twice. The brass key on the hook by the scullery door belongs to room nine, and room nine has been locked since the winter Miss Ada Carnegie came to us with a sea trunk and a head full of questions.

She asked everything. She asked the coal man where the old chapel bell had gone, and she asked the ferryman why he never rowed past the black rocks at Mackerel Point. She lifted the false back of my late husband's wardrobe and read the letters tied in ribbon, and she pressed her ear to the attic hatch when the lamps were lit. Nobody in Gull Wick had ever been so interested in everybody's business, and nobody in Gull Wick had ever been so quickly sorry for it.

By October she had a chart of the harbour pinned above her bed with one cove inked in red. The tide tables said the water would drop low enough to walk the sand that Thursday, so she took my rowing boat without asking and went. The fog came in behind her like a dropped sheet. The lighthouse kept turning its beam over the water, but it never once fell on her. They found the boat on the shingle at dawn, empty, with the oars shipped and a page from her notebook folded under the thwart.

The page said only, in her careful hand, 'Someone is calling from under the cliff. I have to see who.' Go on, pour yourself the tea. The kettle's been singing a while, and I'd swear there's knocking from the other side of room nine.
