The campaign features a tattoo, a robotic arm, a 5G network and Dutch actress Stijn Fransenm, who was tattooed by an artist in a completely different location. One of the advantages of 5G technology is that there's no delay in connection, meaning that there's a high degree of accuracy that can be offered, and the campaign demonstrates this by emphasizing the distance between the tattoo artist and the recipient. This campaign is launching at a time when [tattoo shops are reopening](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inked-out) and bracing for the high demand for body art.
