Learn to fly script with teal arrow

Fine line · Forearm · Mixed · Photo

A fine line script phrase reading learn to fly runs across the arm, with a thin shaft that continues into an arrow. The arrow's fletching at the left and its head at the right are filled in teal, while the lettering and shaft are in black. The tattoo is shown straight on against a plain background, with the text and arrow centred in the frame.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Your father has built the loft from pit props and an old pram wheel, and you are the one who climbs the ladder every morning before the hooter goes. The birds are called Dolly, Ash and the grey one nobody will name, and the grey one is the only one that will not come down when you whistle.

Keep reading

Mr Hebden at the Co-op says a bird that will not come down has either found something better or lost its nerve. You do not tell him which you think. Your mam says nothing about it at all, only leaves the tea under a plate on the back step so it stays warm for the men coming off shift with coal dust in their ears.

The Saturday the grey one finally drops onto the sill, you have a length of hazel and a bit of baler twine. You tie a feather from its own wing to the shaft, because your gran always said a thing only flies true if it carries something of itself. Then you walk up to the top field where the spoil heap sets the wind going strange, and you let the arrow go out over the wire fence, and it sails past the last lamppost as if it has been waiting its whole life to do exactly that.
