It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are Jester Lavorre, a tiefling cleric . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously, Nott advises you to play a little hard to get with Fjord. The party choose ship's jobs to learn: Caleb navigation, Nott powder monkey, Fjord quartermaster, you carpenter, Caduceus boatswain and Beau cooper.
DM: Jester, the Mistake is keeping in time with the Squalleater and you're brought-- it slows down a bit and you're brought over to the opposite side and there, looking around, you wander under the deck and find, at one of the tables, Waldok, who's one of the deckhands of the ship. He's currently sitting at a table with a large tankard of really rough grog or ale, biting his lower lip, and he has his sleeve pulled up and you can see Orly has this unique bowstring of some kind that's wrapped between two fingers, an inkwell, and a needle that's tied up in it, and he's currently halfway through doing this really good-looking, elaborate tattoo across the arm of this deckhand.
Player: Whoa!
DM: He's got his patch over his eye, right up against one of the portholes where the light's coming through and he's using it for perspective, and he's lording over this smaller, thin human, and glances over, "Oh, hey there."
Player: Can I go stand over his shoulder and stare at what he's doing?
DM: Yeah, you keep watch and he's doing this curled mermaid that is coming up and, on one hand is holding on at the hip and the other is picking a fruit off of a tree. You begin to question the design a bit and Orly says, offhand, "It's what he requested."
Player: Why are you having a mermaid pick fruit if she's in the water?
DM: He's sitting there going like, "(grunting) Well, I had a rough fight with some scurvy a few years back and a few things I like the idea of ladies in the sea that can save me from scurvy."
Player: Oh, that's really smart. It's very meaningful.
DM: Orly chuckles under his breath. It's very well done, and you can see now the other tattoos that are across his body were probably done by him on himself.
Player: Hey, Orly, I'm training to be a carpenter, did you know?
DM: "I wasn't aware, actually, but m-m-maybe you should ask around for the man who's doing the repairs around this place."
Player: Yeah, I will definitely do that, but I also want to learn how to do tattoos. Can you teach me that?
DM: "I can try and teach you some of--"
Player: I'm a really good artist, Orly.
DM: "-- m-m-my skills. However, I got a specific talent with some of this here."
Player: Yeah, it's a thing that you wrap around your fingers and then you go like this?
DM: "Kind of. Here, do you m-m-mind?" The guy's like, "Uh."
Player: I'm a really good artist, don't worry.
DM: "Sure?" Orly helps show you how he threads this and gets the needle set up. Go ahead and make a performance check.
