This image depicts a professional tattooing session in the city of Fortaleza, Brazil. The scene focuses on the arm of a client, positioned on a surface covered with black plastic wrap and a white, textured paper towel. A tattoo artist, largely obscured but visible from the chest up, is performing the tattoo. The artist wears a white face mask, a green tank top, and white disposable gloves. Distinct tattoos, including a purple rose on the left shoulder, are visible on the artist's arms. The artist's gloved hands are central to the action. Their left hand holds a tattoo machine, which is wrapped in a clear plastic barrier and has a textured brown grip. The needle of the machine is positioned close to the client's skin. The artist's gloved right hand rests on the client's forearm, appearing to steady the skin. On the client's forearm, the outline of a shark tattoo is prominently visible, appearing to be freshly applied or in the process of being outlined. Further down the same arm, another outlined tattoo, resembling a geometric structure or object, is partially visible. The client's skin appears clean, consistent with a sterile tattooing environment. The overall impression is a focused, professional interaction within a tattoo studio setting.
