Two matching infinity symbol ankle tattoos

Fine line · Ankle · Black and grey · Photo

Two small infinity symbols are tattooed on two different ankles, with the left one slightly higher on its ankle than the right. The linework is thin and dark black, with a single consistent line and no shading. The pale skin and grey textured background keep the focus on the two matching designs.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The rope walk at Staithes ran four hundred feet along the cliff, and by August 1887 Ada Pyle had decided a rope could be made without an end. Her father laughed at supper. Every line had two ends, he said, the way every sermon had an amen. She said nothing more, but that night she unlaid a length of waste hemp by candlelight and began to work.

Her cousin Mary found her on the flags next morning, splicing the cut ends of a fathom into a ring. The tucks went in one under, one over, as the old men taught, but Ada kept turning the work round until the rope ran into itself with no seam to catch a thumbnail. Held to the light, it lay on its side like a figure of eight, a sum that never came out.

They spent the autumn on it while the herring fleet came and went. Each evening they dipped it in tar and hung it from the hook in the net shed, where it turned slowly in the draught. Mary wanted to sell it to the harbourmaster. Ada refused, and when the first frost came she cut a short loop from the rope's own length and bound it round Mary's wrist with waxed thread.

The ring is still in the net shed, grey now and hard as driftwood. Mary's loop went with her to Hull and then to Canada, and every winter a letter crossed the water asking whether the rope had been found to end. Ada always wrote back the same thing: not yet. She said it kindly, the way you say a true thing to someone you intend to keep.
