Small four-leaf clover on a forearm

Fine line · Forearm · Black and grey · Photo

A small outline of a four-leaf clover sits on the inside of a forearm, drawn in a single thin dark line with no shading. The ink appears blue-black against the skin, and the clover is placed near the centre of the frame. The background is a soft-focus window with a washed-out, faded tone.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Sit nearer, the wind off the river takes half of what I say. Every clerk at the Harrow Bridge crossing knew the old rule: a traveller could carry anything over that line except a thing drawn to bring luck. Ink was the trouble. For a hundred years people had tried to smuggle fortune in their sleeves, and the customs hut kept a ledger of every charm refused.

In the winter of the flood, a young surveyor called Ilse Marrow came to the desk with one page torn from a notebook. On it, in a single thin line of blue-black ink, was a four-leaf clover, each leaf round as a heart. The clerk, Tobias Venn, read it twice and reached for the stamp that marked contraband. Then he saw that her hand was shaking, and that the rain had found the corner of the page and blurred it.

He asked her why she had drawn it, and she told him the truth. She had made one leaf for each thing she was leaving on the far bank. Faith in her father's orchard. Hope for a letter she had never sent. Love for the dog that would not swim the river. And luck, which she had kept only because it was the one thing she could still draw straight.

Venn stamped the page valid. In the ledger he wrote: one clover, four leaves, nothing in the pockets. Then he waved her through and watched her go, lantern swinging, over boards slick with flood water. Some things, he told the empty hut, never need declaring. They only need counting.
