Free tattoos for breast cancer survivors
As Lebanon faces a devastating economic crisis, its citizens lose access to electricity, transportation, water, and
healthcare. In response, Joa Antoun begins offering free tattoos to breast cancer survivors who have undergone a
mastectomy, treating her clients’ breasts as a canvas for incredible pieces of art. Although tattoos are still
considered a taboo in much of the Middle East, Joa and the women who come to her for help allow these tattoos to
become a tool for healing and transformation.
