Fine line flower bouquet on upper arm

Fine line · Upper arm · Black and grey · Photo

A small botanical bouquet is drawn in thin black linework on the inner upper arm, shown against a plain white background. The sprigs of tiny clustered flowers rise from a rose or peony-style bloom, with a stem and two pointed leaves extending to the lower right. The shading is minimal, relying on the single-line outlines and the open, airy composition.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Lost property at Thornley Junction gets everything eventually, but flowers are the worst. Umbrellas dry out and gloves wait politely in their paper bags. A bouquet sits in the cupboard and goes slowly to pieces, shedding onto the ledger. When this one came in on Tuesday, wrapped in brown paper and a rubber band, I wrote the label and then stood there for a while.

The rose at its heart was tight and fully open, its petals drawn in careful, single lines, and the tiny flowers rose above it on thin stems, clustered like someone had breathed frost across a window. Clipped to the paper was a card in capitals: FOR WHEN YOU GET BACK. Nothing else. No name.

I kept it on the shelf behind the till for nine days. Men in wet coats came asking after umbrellas, and a girl in a school blazer came asking after a cello, and every time the bell over the door rang I looked up. On the tenth morning a woman with a canvas holdall stood at the counter, looked at the paper and the card, and said nothing until I handed it across.

She untied the string, drew out one sprig of the white flowers and tucked it into her coat pocket. The rest is for the bin, she said. I watched the 9:14 to Leeds take her out past the signal box, and I put the card in the drawer with the others, where it could wait for somebody else.
