Row of silhouette figures on an ankle

Fine line · Ankle · Black and grey · Photo

The tattoo shows four small solid black silhouettes of figures arranged in a curving line, shrinking from the largest at the top to the smallest at the bottom. The lines are clean and the figures are filled in solid black with no shading. The ink sits on pale skin against a soft, neutral background, with the edge of a white sneaker visible in the frame.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The wind had been off the Atlantic for three days when Mrs Tremayne decided her boys could fly. Nobody on Chapel Lane argued with her. She had the kind of hands that tied a knot once and never had to tie it again, and she had already hung the washing out in a gale to prove a point.

They climbed the harbour wall at dusk, Jory first with the old fishing line looped round his wrist, then Tom, then Ellis, and last of all Nell, who was seven and furious about being last. Jory held the line and told them to keep their arms out like the gulls did, not like scarecrows. 'Gulls don't stiffen up,' he said. 'That's how you know they're not frightened.'

The first gust took Jory clean off the stones. The line sang out across the water and the others went after him one by one, a row of small dark figures stretched over the bay, each a little further off and a little harder to tell from the sky. Mrs Tremayne counted them the way she counted pegs. She got to three before the light went out of the water.

Nell's shape hung longest, a speck above the lighthouse rock, and then there was nothing. In the morning a grey feather was caught on the washing line and a trail of wet footprints ran up the harbour wall, and the kettle was already warm, and she did not ask who had lit it.
