Arrow with two dots on a wrist

Other · Black and grey · Photo

The tattoo shows a right-pointing arrow in black ink, with three feather-like fletching lines at the tail, followed by two round dots and a solid arrowhead. The linework is simple and bold with flat black fill, and there is no shading or colour. The wrist fills the centre of the frame against a dimly lit room with a dark cushion and carpet in the background.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The snow shut the high pass on the third day of Thaw Month, and still no word had come up from the lowland lords. Old Tamsin, who kept the watch at Crane Stone, sent her grandson Piers down the goat track with three arrows bound in red wool and told him to loose one only when the road was clear.

He waited at the hollow where the ravine bends. Each arrow carried its meaning in the fletching: three feathers for a rider, two for a cart. Between the shafts Piers set two pebbles, the way his grandmother had taught him, one for a fire that was lit and one for a fire that was not. He counted the pebbles twice before he drew the string.

The arrow flew the length of the gorge and struck the timber gate of the Ferrier's tower across the valley. Nobody answered for an hour. Then a lantern swung twice on the far wall, paused, and swung once more. Piers understood that the lords had read the sign, and that the bridge at Lower Wend would hold. He sat down in the snow and laughed until his face hurt.

Tamsin found him there at dusk and asked what the arrow had said. He showed her the pebbles, still warm in his glove. Afterwards, whenever the snow came early, the children of Crane Stone scratched that same arrow into the flagstones, three feathers, two dots, a point, and waited for the lantern to answer.
