Treble and bass clef finger tattoos

Fine line · Hand · Black and grey · Photo

Two hands are shown side by side, with a small treble clef tattooed on the side of one finger and a small bass clef on the neighbouring finger. The linework is thin and even, in solid black ink with no shading or colour. The close crop keeps both tattoos centred, with wristbands and a blurred background visible at the edges.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

At ten past two the printer in the back room of Hale & Ortiz Copying jammed on a page of cello parts, and Ada Brindle, who had been awake since six the previous morning, swore at it in the voice she saved for machines and clients. The session was at nine. Forty sheets of the Thursday quartet still needed a second proof, and the rain had turned the front window into a smear of bus lights over Deansgate.

She worked the jammed sheet free and found the bass clef had printed twice, once bold and once ghosted, the way a clef does when the drum is worn. Her uncle, who had taught her to copy by hand before machines took the work, used to say a clef was a promise about where the notes would live. Treble for the high voices, bass for the low, and the staff between them where the two halves of a piece could meet. He never explained what he meant by that. He would only tap the page with his pencil and go back to his own work.

She redrew the bass clef by hand on a spare sheet, the dot set exactly between the two upper lines, the curl made in one unbroken pull of the nib. It took eleven minutes. When she held it up to the lamp, the ink lay thin and even, as black as the day it was poured. She slid it into the proof folder with the others, then wrote a small pencil note under the staff for whoever opened it at nine: this one is right.
