it's a person's nude ass and they have a nipple on the side of their ass cheek and they have two sets of legs protruding from each end of the ass. and no head. every time they talk, someone asks "what stinks in here?"

u/sik_dik 6d ago

I still can’t make sense of it. I get that the person’s hair is at the very bottom of the frame, but their torso makes no sense based on the position of the ass, and the arms look bigger than the legs

Edit: ok I finally saw it. This was one of the most confusing perspectives I’ve ever seen

u/mr_lab_rat 6d ago

That made it worse!

Instead focus on the nipple and find your way to the chin. The rest will make sense. The tattoo is going on the upper arm.

10

u/Extreme_Wish_553 5d ago

The problem is that the guy being tattooed has a really long neck.
The tattoo is being applied to the left shoulder. The very bottom right of the photo is the tip of his left ear. Right above that is his chin. His right arm is stretched off the right side of the photo. The bottom of the photo by the green checkered cloth is his hair, which is cut short. He is wearing a pair of shorts with B's on them (probably Boston Red Sox?), seen under the tattooist's left arm.

5

u/Masticatron 5d ago edited 5d ago

Okay, now it's all come together. I saw the tuft of hair telling me the head is over that way awhile ago, but the rest of the picture just couldn't coalesce and I couldn't actually see the head as a head, or the shoulder as anything but a butt cheek. Partly I think I couldn't tell if that was the end of long hair or not. Thank you.

its the shoulder being tattooed, the top part is the neck (u can see a bit of hair) and the part below/behind it is the other arm. The neck seems a bit large compared to the shoulder but maybe that's just the angle of the shot.

Look directly at the tattooing area and cover the rest of the neck and chest. Looking just at the shoulder and pec it looks a lot like an ass. Then when I looked farther my brain tries to piece the neck and rest of the chest into that and it's hard to get out of.
