"Looking Away In Pain" (痛そう Itasou)
by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, ca. 1888, from the series "Thirty-two Aspects of Women (風俗三十二相 Fuzoku sanjuniso)"

Biting on a handkerchief with her teeth, the courtesan turns away as the needle writes the "irebokuro" - a tattoo mark - into her inner arm.
The woman's dishevelled wispy hair, slightly undone kimono and overall sultry expression hint that perhaps the tattoo decision was made after a moment of passion - and it is possibly the lover that is tattooing his name on her arm right now, in the declaration of the couple's love.
