Gold bull skull temporary tattoo on lower back

Back · Colour · Photo

The collage shows a gold bull skull with navy horns and two turquoise feathers hanging from the horns, drawn in outline with simple shading on the skull. The design appears alone on a white background, on grass, and on a person's lower back, where it sits above the waistband of denim shorts and below a pink bra strap. The metallic gold and turquoise colours stand out against the skin, and a smaller gold design is visible on the upper arm at the right edge.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Marguerite had hung the skull above the barn doors at six that morning, and by noon it was the only thing in the valley everyone agreed on. The bride wanted it gold, the groom wanted it kept away from the cake, and the caterer's van had already reversed twice into the fence. Ruth Ansel stood at the end of the trestle tables with a box of place cards and watched the turquoise feathers lift and settle in the wind off the reservoir.

The feathers had been her mother's idea. Thirty years earlier, at a cousin's wedding in this same field, a longhorn skull had slid off a wall during the speeches and landed in the punch bowl. Nobody was hurt, but the story grew in the telling until it was a warning, a blessing, or a bad joke, depending on who was drinking. Ruth had never believed any of it. What she believed in was paper and ink, and the way her mother pressed the feathers flat in a tea towel every night so they would come out fresh for a Saturday.

At four the best man came looking for her with a bottle of cider and the face of someone about to report bad news. The vicar's car had sunk to its hubs in the ruts by the gate. Ruth took the bottle, walked him past the tables to the barn, and pointed up. "Count the horns," she said. Two, navy paint and gold leaf, bright against the whitewash. "Nothing's come down off that wall since I hung it. I used the good screws this time."

The car came up the lane twenty minutes later with the vicar waving a hat out of the window. Ruth carried the last place card to the front row, set it beside the empty chair her mother had insisted on, and tucked one loose feather back under the nearest horn. The wind took it again. She let it go.
