Cabin, mountains and pines in a circle
Fine line · Black and grey · Flash
A log cabin with a smoking chimney sits at the centre of a circular composition, flanked by pine trees and set against a range of peaks. A crescent moon and horizontal dashed lines fill the sky, and a winding path runs down to the cabin door. The design uses uniform black single lines with no shading, on a pale grey background.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction
Ivy Marsh had banked the stove at four and watched the ridge disappear into cloud. From the saddle above the hut, a walker caught in the mist could see only one thing: the smoke. She kept the chimney going the way her grandmother had, with split larch and a patience nobody praised. Walkers came up the winding path with maps they didn't trust, and the smoke told them there was a door at the end of it.

By six the rain had turned to sleet. She fed the fire again, set the kettle on twice, and told herself the stew would keep. The moon was a thin pale hook behind the cloud, no help at all. Then a torch flickered on the switchbacks below the pines, stopped, flickered again, and came on.
She took the lantern out and stood in the doorway while he climbed. Tomas Gell was a surveyor's clerk from the valley town, soaked to the knee, and he had the look of a man who had been arguing with his own map for two hours. He didn't thank her. He stood at the foot of the step, looked up at the chimney, and said the smoke was leaning oddly, like a question.
Ivy pulled the door wide and the warmth rolled out past her. "It's not a question," she said. "It's the way home. Wipe your feet."
