Geometric · Black and grey · Flash

A three-by-seven grid of white linework designs on a black background. The motifs are built from hexagons, triangles, squares, circles and overlapping arcs, with some showing internal stars, cubes and icosahedron-like solids. The lines are thin and even, and the composition is symmetrical and evenly spaced, with no shading or colour.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The brass theodolite had lost a screw somewhere between Carlisle and the moor, so Ada Pennock set her measurements by pencil and by faith. Every evening she sat at the kitchen table of the Tollgate Inn and drew the county the way the instrument insisted on seeing it: as a grid of angles that refused to behave. The landlord's dog slept under her chair. The fire ticked. She had been told the work was for the Ordnance men, but nobody had sent her a drawing of what they wanted, so she drew what she could prove.

On the ninth night she stopped trying to fit the hills into squares. She took a compass, set the point on the old milestone at the crossroads, and swept a circle out to the church spire. Then a second circle, from the spire back toward the milestone. Where the two arcs crossed she found a point that the surveyors' sheets had left empty, and when she drew a triangle through three such points, its centre fell exactly on the inn's cellar door. She checked it twice. The landlord's wife, Mrs Hobday, watched her do it and said nothing, though she set down a second cup of tea without being asked.

By the end of the month Ada had a sheet covered in overlapping rings, hexagons nested like honeycomb, a six-pointed star hiding inside a cube. It was not a map of anywhere. It was a map of how the places agreed with each other, if you let them. She sent it to the Survey Office with a note apologising for the lack of a scale. The reply came back with one line in careful copperplate: the drawing was accepted, the method was not. Ada folded the letter, put it under the dog's water bowl, and began again from the milestone.
