An expert tattoo artist
is offering her work for free so victims of domestic violence can cover up
their scars. Flavia
Carvalho began her project 'A Pele da Flor', which means 'The Skin of the
Flower', in Curitiba, Brazil, to turn horrific mementos into "self-esteem
boosters".
Since then
her art has covered up wounds from bullets, beatings, stabbings and even
mastectomies.
The service
is one 100% - the only 'cost' is choosing the tattoo.
Falvia says
she came up with the idea when a client wanted to cover a large scar on her
abdomen.
She told the Huffington
Post: "She told me that she was at a nightclub, and when she turned
down a man who approached her, he stabbed her with an switchblade."
When the
client saw the finished tattoo, she was "extremely moved" and Flavia
was "deeply touched".
