Small smiley and cross on fingers

Fine line · Hand · Black and grey · Photo

A hand is held up in a peace sign, showing two small tattoos on the inside of the index and middle fingers. The index finger has a tiny smiley face made of two dots and a curved line, and the middle finger has a small cross drawn in thin black linework. The background is a softly lit room with a dark television and shelves, and the ink is solid black with no colour.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Sit down, the pair of you, before the kettle goes cold, and I'll tell you how the Pemberton twins settled the matter of the chapel roof. You've heard it wrong at the Crown, I expect. Nobody there ever bothers with the true version.

Their father had sworn the roof would hold until the harvest supper, and it leaked over the choir stalls every time the wind came off the moor. Vicar Leonard wrote three letters to the diocese and got back one, which said to pray harder. So the twins, Ada and Jim, took to leaving notes tucked inside the hymn books. A small cross meant the Lord was watching the gutters. A little smile meant they had been up the ladder already and found the flashing gone.

By Michaelmas the whole parish was speaking in their scribbles. Mrs Hobday read a cross chalked on the baker's step and sent her husband round with a ladder of his own. Nobody could say who had started it, but the roof was mended by Advent, and the vicar kept one note pinned above the font. It showed two small marks side by side, a grin and a cross, and underneath, in careful pencil, a single word: Enough.
