Flavia Carvalho is a tattoo artist who runs a studio in Curitiba, Brasil. She is using her art for happiness by covering scars of women who were victims of domestic violence. Her work only costs happiness and smiles; she doesn't charge anything for it. Flavia named her body art project "A Pele da Flor" (The Skin of the Flower) in which she gives tattoos to hurt women since last two years. The artist has helped women cover their scars that were life-long reminders of pain and abuse for them. 'It all started about two years ago, when I worked with a client who wanted to cover a large scar on her abdomen.' 'She told me that she was at a nightclub, and when she turned down a man who approached her, he stabbed her with a switchblade.' 'When she saw the finished tattoo, she was extremely moved, and that deeply touched me.' 'The one that shocked me the most was the story of a 17-year-old girl who dated an older man and, for months, suffered from the physically abusive relationship.' 'When he wanted to break up with her, he scheduled a meeting, and after they began to fight, he stabbed her several times in her abdomen, and violently raped her.' Source
