Fine line · Neck · Black and grey · Photo

A thin, single-line arrow passes diagonally through an infinity symbol, drawn in black ink with even, delicate linework. The tattoo sits on the back of the neck, with the wearer photographed from behind, showing part of an ear and dark hair pulled to one side. The background is a dark curtain and the skin is shown in soft, even black and white tones.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Ruth had spent three evenings on the figure of eight. Her uncle's waxed linen rope looped twice around the two oaks at the bottom of Haddon's field, and the vicar wanted the arch finished before the bride came up the lane. "Thread it through the middle, Ruth, and you'll be married by Michaelmas," Wilf said, which was nonsense, and she told him so.

The morning came grey and still. The bride's sister held the bow while Ruth held the arrow, a cedar shaft she had fletched herself with goose feathers dyed the colour of rust. The guests stood in a loose half-circle on the wet grass, coats buttoned against the damp. Ruth drew, let go, and the shaft clipped the top of the left loop and dropped into the nettles.

Someone laughed. Heat climbed her neck. Then she saw the trouble: the rope had been knotted where it crossed, and the arrow had caught on the join. She walked over, picked the tangle loose with her thumbnail, and pulled the linen taut until both rings lay flat and open with a clean line running straight through the middle.

She didn't think about the second shot. The arrow went low and true, through one ring and out through the other, and buried its tip in the turf at the bride's feet. Nobody cheered at first. Then Wilf took off his cap. The groom came down the lane with his hands in his pockets, looked at the arrow, then at Ruth, and said, "Show me how you did that," which she decided was entirely the wrong question.
