A tattoo artist is shown actively tattooing the back of a man lying prone on a tattoo bed. The artist's arm, equipped with a tattoo machine and wearing blue medical gloves, is visible working on the man's upper back. The man being tattooed has extensive existing tattoos covering his arms, shoulders, and hands, and wears a black watch on his left wrist and a chain around his neck. Visible on his knuckles is part of a word, appearing as "TOL" followed by additional letters. In the foreground, an open book with yellowed pages displays text written in Cyrillic script (Russian). The scene appears to be set within a tattoo parlor or studio in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
