A close-up view shows a tattoo artist actively applying a tattoo to a person's skin. The artist's hands are covered in black gloves, which are partially stained with blue ink. A tattoo machine, with its needle visible, is precisely injecting blue and some red/pink ink into the skin. Surrounding the area being worked on are existing tattoos, including a blue butterfly-like design and some black line art. A piercing is also visible on the ear of the person receiving the tattoo, suggesting the tattoo location is on the neck or upper shoulder. The distinct buzzing sound of the tattoo machine is audible. This tattooing session is occurring in Kuta, Indonesia.
