Fine line · Chest · Colour · Photo

A woman in a white crop top wears metallic gold temporary tattoos. A peacock feather with a small companion feather sits on the upper chest, a row of gold triangles wraps the upper arm, and a single triangle sits on the back of the hand. The linework is clean and outlined, with flat metallic fills and no shading, and the pale background keeps the gold elements in focus.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The salt was nearly gone when YusufAreth stopped his mule on the Ashen Road to look at the feather lying in the ruts. It was a peacock's, long and green-eyed, and the sand had not yet claimed it. He wrapped it in a strip of his shirt and tied it to the harness, because his grandmother had told him a feather found on the road belonged to whoever was willing to carry it further.

For three days the road ran flat and white. On the third, a wind came off the salt pans and the mule refused to move. A small woman in a grey cloak sat on a rock at the verge, a sheet of thin metal across her knees, cutting gold triangles with a pair of shears. She did not look up. "You have something of mine," she said. "Not the feather. The feather is only the eye of it."

Yusuf offered her the feather. She shook her head and pressed a single gold triangle into his palm, warm as a coin left in the sun. "Set this on the crossing stone at the foot of the pass. Anything that travels this road has to touch gold once, or it is only passing through." He asked what would happen if he didn't. She went back to her cutting, and the wind dropped as if someone had closed a door.

At the pass he pressed the triangle onto the crossing stone, and the mule walked on without being pulled. When he reached Qadir Wells the salt fetched twice its price, and he never again found a feather on the road, though he always looked. The gold stayed on the stone, catching the light from the east every morning before the carters woke.
