Traditional · Thigh · Mixed · Photo

A Darth Vader helmet is styled as a sugar skull, with a blue and yellow daisy growing from the top and pink flowers, green leaves and small dots decorating the sides. The helmet is shaded in greys with bold black outlines, while the flowers and leaves use flat colour. The design is centred on a close crop of the thigh.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Sit down, sit, the bread is still warm and the gate will not open until the goats finish their argument. You want the story of the man with the iron face? Then listen. He came up the pass the winter the river froze, pushing a handcart with a dead woman's wedding dress folded under the sacks of salt.

The guard at Kessel Bridge was a young man called Tomas, with printer's ink on his thumbs from his father's shop. He lifted the black helmet off the cart and found it heavy as a church bell. Inside it was empty and cold and smelt of oil. The stranger said nothing. He only pointed to the crown, where a daisy had pushed up through a crack in the metal, its petals bright as a shop sign, its middle yellow as an egg yolk.

Tomas had been told the iron man was a tax collector from the valley towns, come to count the salt. But the flower was real. It had roots in the seams and dew on its petals, and when the guard rapped the visor with his knuckle, a small pink blossom unfolded from the cheek like a tongue poking out at him. The clerk laughed, stamped nothing, and waved the cart through.

So I tell you: when you meet a man with a face like a shut door, look for the flower. The helmet is only the part that frightens. The daisy is what he carries across. Now pass me that cup, and mind the goats.
