Fine line · Chest · Black and grey · Photo

A close-up of the chest showing a small black tattoo of the Venus or female gender symbol, placed centrally between the breasts. The thin, clean linework is solid black with no shading, and a faint blue guide line runs vertically above and below the motif. A white lace bra frames the image, and a partly covered mark is visible at the edge of the right breast.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The assay office at Wheal Cressick smelled of vinegar and scorched iron, and Mr Pascoe kept his tin trays in a row along the sill, each one stamped with the same small sign: a circle with a cross hanging beneath it. He told me it was the old mark for copper, borrowed from the goddess of love, and that the miners had taken to it because the metal was as fickle as any sweetheart and twice as costly to lose.

On my first morning he set a slab of grey ore in front of me and drew a line down it with blue chalk. Split it along there, he said, and mind the seam, because a true cut is the only honest thing a man can give a buyer. My hands shook. The saw bit, the halves fell apart, and a bright vein of copper showed in the cut like a thread of sunrise. Pascoe ran his thumb over it and grunted, which from him was a sonnet.

The mine shut in the spring. The pumps had been losing the fight with the water for a year, and the men were paid off with brass tokens nobody could cash in Penzance. Pascoe was too proud to stay on as a watchman, so he gave me his trays and his blue chalk and walked up the lane without looking back. I still have the last sample, the one I cut on my first day, wrapped in brown paper on the mantelpiece. Every time I dust it I see that little sign stamped on the paper, and I think of him drawing the line, steady, before he let me take the saw.
