An illustration of a femme-presenting person with brown skin with her arms holding her hair above her head and her face is turned to the side with closed eyes. She's wearing a sleeveless, strapless top that shows off the tattoos she has on her chest and up and down her arms. Many of them are floral in nature and brightly-colored.
