Dark print of a woman kissing, or biting, a downturned man on the back of the neck.

Black, blue, gray, orange, and red print of a man and woman. The woman appears from the torso up, crouching over the man’s downturned body. She has long, red hair that is parted in the middle and flows across her arms and the man’s head. The man’s face is obscured with only the right side of his torso and head visible. His dark hair and clothing are made of similar shades of black and blue. The area immediately surrounding the two individuals is darker than the upper corners of the print which are dark green with strokes of black.
