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.
