In a world where tattoos are often perceived as a symbol of freedom and self-expression, there exists a dark side to this culture – forced tattoos, which have become instruments of control and humiliation. In the Netherlands, in the city of Rotterdam, the Spijt van Tattoo foundation operates, helping victims of domestic violence remove violent tattoos left by their abusers. This is not just a medical procedure; it’s a path to liberation, restoration of dignity, and reclaiming one’s life.
