Fine line wildflower sprig on upper arm

Fine line · Upper arm · Black and grey · Photo

A small black line tattoo of a thin sprig with two tiny flower heads on crossing stems, set on the outer upper arm. The linework is delicate and even, with no shading, and the ink is solid black against the skin. The design sits alone in the centre of the frame, with a rolled white sleeve at the top and plain background.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The landlady's book of pressed flowers was missing its sea pinks again, and you knew who had taken them before Mrs Pardoe finished saying your name at the bottom of the stairs. Gull-noise came through the sash window and the boarding house smelled of vinegar and wet coats, the way it always did in the first week of September, when the lodgers stopped coming down for breakfast before ten.

You had a sprig of something in your coat pocket, pale and crushed, cut from the cliff path that morning. It had two heads on it, no bigger than a fingernail, and the stems crossed where you had bent them to fit the gap between the stones. You meant to slip it back into the book before anyone noticed, but the boy from room four was on the landing with his suitcase half packed, asking whether the ferry still ran on Tuesdays. You found yourself telling him it did, and that the wildflowers grew best where the wind couldn't reach them.

He left at noon with his cap pulled low. That evening you opened the book and found the gap filled, not with your cutting but with a drawing: one thin stem, two tiny heads, the lines crossing where the pencil had lifted and come back down. Mrs Pardoe had been right about the sea pinks, but someone had left something in their place. Underneath, in careful capitals, he had written your name.
