Tattoo Artist Midnight Canal Novosibirsk Fog

Ground fog pools along the concrete embankment beside the Novosibirsk canal, rising just above the waterline under the midnight sky. String lights hang overhead, casting an uneven orange glow that reflects on the rain-slicked pavement. An over-the-shoulder view places the tattoo artist in profile, their cheek smeared with fresh blue and black ink. Dark fabric of a heavy raincoat covers the shoulder, while water droplets rest on the brim of a cap. The wet concrete holds the mist at the edge, and the ink on the skin contrasts with the pale face illuminated by the artificial light.
