Black fine line script tattoo reading Wanderlust with an arrow and feathered fletching on the top of a foot.

Wanderlust script with arrow on foot

Fine line · Other · Black and grey · Photo

A black script word, Wanderlust, is tattooed across the top of a foot, with a thin looping line running behind the letters and an arrow whose feathered tail ends on the right. The linework is fine and even, with no shading, and the ink is solid black on pale skin. The design is centred on the foot against a red and green tartan fabric background, and the photograph is taken from above at close range.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Nell had been up the Bramley ladder since six, picking the last of the late apples before the wasps got to them, and her grandfather stood below with the basket and said nothing about the bag packed by the back door.

He had been like that all August. Walt Tarrant talked to the trees more than he talked to people, and he used the same flat voice for both. When she came down, he took the basket from her without looking up and set it on the grass. 'Your great-grandad shot an arrow over that wall in 1931,' he said. 'Said he'd find it wherever it landed. Never did. Reckoned it was still going.'

She looked at the wall, the lane beyond it, the hedge heavy with old traveller's joy. 'Did he go after it?'

'Went to Canada in 1934.' Walt pulled a windfall from the grass, rubbed it on his trousers and bit into it. 'Said the trick was to shoot it and then walk the same way, so the thing could keep pulling you on.'

The bus to Hereford was due at the top of the lane at seven. Nell heard its engine before she saw it, a low grind coming round the bend past the church, and she felt her feet decide before she did. She picked the biggest apple off the ladder rung, pushed it deep into her coat pocket, and went out through the gate without shutting it behind her, the way he had always told her never to.
