A bald individual with extensive body tattoos is seated behind another person, whose back is to the camera. The tattooed person is embracing the seated figure from behind, resting their chin on the other's shoulder. Both are sitting on a simple black stool against a light blue background. The focus is on the intricate patterns of the tattoos covering both individuals' skin.
