Small outline heart on a finger

Fine line · Hand · Black and grey · Photo

A woman with long dark hair holds her hand over the lower part of her face, showing a small heart outline tattoo on the side of one finger. The heart is drawn in thin, single black linework with no shading, and sits close to the knuckle. The image has a warm, soft-focus look with red nail polish, a thin gold ring on the same hand, and a blurred red and blue background.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Dear Nell, the tin of Lyle's golden syrup you posted got me through the Bay of Biscay, though the tin itself nearly went over the side in the swell. I'm writing this at the galley table with the range still ticking, because Cook has gone up for his tea and the potatoes can wait ten minutes if they have to.

You'll want to hear about the ring. Tomasz, the steward's boy, lost his in the scullery drain on Tuesday and has been moping since, turning a bit of cord round his finger as if it might do the job. I offered him my spare, but he said the sea would only take it. So I took the blue chalk we use for marking flour sacks and drew a heart on the side of his finger, one thin line that never lifted once. It came out lopsided because the ship rolled halfway through, and he said it looked like a kidney bean. He has kept that hand in his pocket all afternoon anyway.

He says when we dock at Valparaiso he'll find a proper man with a proper needle and have it done in ink, so it can't wash off in the copper the way chalk does. I told him that was daft. He said he'd come back and show me once it healed, and I said I'd believe it when I saw it. Then I went back to the onions, and I'm still not sure which of us was blushing. Mind the tin, and write soon. Love, Maggie
