5. I may be wrong, but that advert appears to say Russian tattoo artist in Los Angeles, lolol

подробнее means 'more information/details'

strange you are getting Russian language adverts

the algorithm may have sent it if you have searched for Russian news/interference, tattoos, and you live in Los Angeles or searched for it

5 usd buys you a year of advert-free viewing via the star

cheers

It says "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine."

No, actually it's:

"Russian tattoo artist in LA
The pain will go away forever, art will remain for the whole Life and even a little longer
Natasha Shevchenko MORE"
