As we are at low tide at the moment and I am very bored I have come up with a mad idea.
Let's imagine that whilst Ruth was in exile (early days, before George), she decided to have a tattoo in memory of Harry. What would it be? I know she's not really a tattoo sort of girl, but what the heck. Just a bit of a laugh ;D
My suggestion would be
'Harry....(then a heart shape) in spite of all the danger' across the side of her hip.
What do you think?
Yikes, my first thread and not a very serious one LOL!

The Grand Tour. New York on one hip,Paris on the other hip, and other cities here and there.......Naaaa. I can't see Ruth with THAT many tattoos! She'd look like an atlas. Maybe just a very small "H' someplace only Harry would know of. A brown one. For his eyes.

I think Ruth is the kind of person who would never, ever get a tattoo. But I agree that it's still fun to speculate about! I agree with Inker though. She'd go for something small and subtle, like a very small 'H' or something somewhere. Nice idea for a topic!  |

Yes silly idea of Ruth having a tattoo but still too much fun to not join in!!!! Thanks watchstrap for this fun idea! I would go for something that would be very her as in possibly something from history that she loves and the design is for something to represent her love for Harry. Now I totally want to see some possible designs for sure now!!! ;D  |

How about LV2 on the bottom of one foot? I can imagine Ruth with a tattoo about like I can see her with a LARGE nose ring!  |

Ooo interesting. I don't particularly see her as a tattoo person (it doesn't help that I'm very much not a tattoo person), but I think you can play with characters if you give them the right motives - I've done it myself. I used a tattoo as a plot point (rather than a character point) in TLC. Not the best thing I've ever put in a fic, but interesting that this thread exists!

I'm not a tattoo person either, though I do sometimes like them on other people |

As I started this thread I thought I would add some more thoughts re Ruth and tats. I used to be a bit prejudiced about tattoos, probably as a result of my upbringing. My parents definitely frowned on them and I thought they were for sailors, soldiers and what my Mum calls 'common people'. However, I think nowadays they are a bit more mainstream and people have things other than anchors or LOVE and HATE done. I really like that Felicity Kendall has recently had a couple done, much to the horror of her kids and she is in her 60's!
So I still think that Ruth might have one done in a sort of life affirming way. Maybe some classical reference to confirm her identity. And I still think it would be fun for Harry to find it. Not that we would ever see it of course!

I've tried to picture Ruth getting a tattoo and I really don't think I can but trying to roll with it here... I would see it as something small and important on the underside of her wrist.
