Geometric line tattoo on a forearm

Fine line · Forearm · Black and grey · Photo

A black linework geometric design sits across the inner forearm, shaped like a wide band that holds overlapping circular arcs and straight intersecting lines radiating from a central point. The lines are fine and even with solid black ink and no shading. The image is a close, slightly angled photo of the forearm and wrist, with tiled walls and a bath visible behind.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Late August, and Tom Pellow had been walking the rows of Marrow Hill since six, counting trees with a knotted string because his aunt did not trust the ledger. The Bramley rows ran true, but the old Blenheim block bent away from the wall in a curve nobody had ever surveyed. He stopped where the lines seemed to pivot around a single point at the centre of the field and sat on an upturned crate to look.

His aunt Edie came down the slope with a flask and a paper bag of sugared plums. She eyed the string, then the grass he had flattened into a rough wheel. "You're not measuring," she said. "You're drawing it." He admitted he was trying to find where the arcs would close if someone walked every row at once. Edie laughed and said the old men had done the same in chalk before the war, and that the bend was the reason the cider tasted of the hill.

They walked it together, Edie counting under her breath, Tom holding the end of the string at each trunk. By noon the shape had become plain: a band of ground held between two straight walls, the rows rising from the centre like seed lines in a split apple. Edie pressed a windfall into his palm and told him to look at the core. Five chambers, neat as a draughtsman's ruling.

He drove the last peg where the spokes met and wrote the number on the back of his hand in biro, then rubbed it half away on his trousers. The orchard would be measured again next year, and the year after, but the peg would stay. Behind him the wasps worked the fallen plums, and the string lay coiled on the crate like something that had finally agreed to keep still.
