Two LEGO bricks on a wrist

Fine line · Forearm · Black and grey · Photo

The photograph shows a hand and wrist with two small outlined LEGO-style bricks, one with two studs visible on top and one with a single stud in the centre. The linework is thin and even, with no shading, so the bricks read as simple three-dimensional outlines. The image is black and white against a dark background, and the bricks sit side by side on the inner wrist.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The keep at Harrowmere had lost its north wall to a winter storm the year my sister turned nine, so we rebuilt it on the kitchen lino from a tub of grey and red bricks that smelled of the cupboard under the stairs. Dad said we were being ambitious. Mum said nothing, because she was on the phone to the council about the roof.

Nell wanted towers. I wanted a drawbridge that actually lowered, which took four evenings and a spring from a biro. We argued about the moat. We argued about whether the ruined bit should be left ruined or made whole, and in the end we agreed to leave the gap where the wall had fallen, because the gap was the most interesting part.

Two bricks went missing in the spring. One was a little square with two studs, the other with a single button in the middle, the kind you could find with your thumb in the dark. Nell swore the cat had them. I found them months later under the radiator, grey with dust, and I kept mine in my pocket through the whole of secondary school, rolling it between my fingers during exams.

When Nell left for university she pressed hers into my palm at the station and said, you keep the gap, I will keep the rest. I still have both now, the one-stud brick on the windowsill beside the one with two. They don't click together. They never did. But when I hold them up against the grey light from the window, their outlines look like the walls of something that was once whole, and that is enough to make me start building again.
