She received a permanent tattoo with a unique sparkle design in a refurbished London railway station that doubled as a tattoo studio. The experience was notably pain-free and lasted only seconds, differing from traditional tattooing methods. The tattoo was applied using a specialized device, rather than a traditional tattoo gun, which was on display in a case. This innovative tattooing method may soon be available for at-home use, potentially changing the way people get tattoos.
