Pin on Lowrider prison arte

So, this is it: you have finally decided to get your first tattoo. But there are still some hesitations roaming in your mind. What if you don’t like it when it’s finished? What if it doesn’t suit you? What if it hurts way too much in the process? All these concerns are very understandable, but they also have a great solution. What you need to put your worries to rest is a minimalist tattoo.

Scars can be life-long reminders of abuse, so tattoo artist Flavia Carvalho decided to do something about it. Her project "A Pele da Flor" (The Skin of the Flower) is about giving hurt women tattoos free of charge. For two years, Carvalho has helped women cover scars left from knives and bullets, and from mastectomies as well. She‘s transforming these unpleasant mementos into a tool of emporwerement and beauty.
