Answer

The refurbished railway station in London I entered last week had none of the usual signs of being a tattoo studio. The walls were devoid of any art, and there were no reclining chairs or massage tables in the room.

Reported by 1 outlet The Verge. See all sources ↓

A journalist visited a refurbished railway station in London that was set up as a tattoo studio. The room had no art on the walls, no chairs, and only a tattoo gun in a display case. Getting a small sparkle line‑art tattoo there felt like being in a half‑assembled biolab. The tattoo was permanent and did not hurt at all.

Why it matters

This shows a new, painless way to get permanent tattoos that could eventually be mailed to customers. It may make tattoos easier and less scary for many people.
