Two small faces tattooed on adjacent fingers

Fine line · Hand · Black and grey · Photo

Two adjacent fingers are shown from the palm side, each with a simple black tattoo. One finger has a smiling face with dot eyes and a curved mouth, while the other has closed eyes and a pair of thin, stick-like arms reaching across. The linework is fine and even on pale skin, and the image is in black ink only, against a blurred indoor background.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Ada Penhallow had two fingers that would not stay apart. The left one laughed at every boat that came home late, and the right one slept through the gales with its arm stretched out, as if it had hold of something. The village said the pair had been born on the same tide, so nobody on the quay thought twice when she tied them together with tarred twine for the herring run.

Her husband, Ned Corrie, went out in the Good Intent with five others, and the weather turned at the mouth of the bay. The lamp on the point went out. The women stood on the wall with their shawls pulled tight and counted the boats: four, then three, then four again when the Intent came through the swell low in the water, her nets full and her mast split like kindling.

Ned climbed the slip with the sea running out of his boots and found Ada waiting with her hand held up. She had dipped her fingers in the chandler's ink and drawn the little faces again, one grinning, one dozing with its arms out wide. He looked at them for a long while.

"You kept watch," he said. "Somebody had to," she said, "and you were always going to fall asleep first."
