I'm grace neutral tattoo artist and
activist so beautiful right now thank
you my eyes I'm passionate about
individual expressions of beauty I'm a
massive believer that anyone should be
able to push boundaries and express
themselves exactly as they want to me
the human body is beautiful in all its
forms they think you are badass you're
so inspirational in this series I'm in
Brazil exploring alternative beauty
culture and understanding how ideas of
female beauty and identity are changing
it's African Swan nebula it's a pretty
own reward
[Music]
Brazil as a population is famed for its
good looks and beautiful bodies so I'm
visiting San Paulo the largest city in
South America home to nearly 11 million
people Brazil has the second biggest
beauty market in the world with
Brazilian women currently spending 11
times more of their annual income on
beauty products the women back home in
the UK with models like Gisele Adriana
Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio assuming
the face of brazilian beauty long
straight hair a lean toned body and fair
skin seem to have set the beauty
standard I'm here meeting Priscilla and
ties two young brazilian girls and we're
at Samper tattoo which is also an inky
male tattoo studio so it's going to be a
really cool day gonna hang out do some
tattoos talk about feminine beauty it's
gonna be wicked I'm excited

the pressure and Prejudice because you

from what I've seen through
advertisement and the mainstream media
over here is that the body that everyone
is desiring is is what you have you know

epitomize the kind of brazilian beauty
ideal she has hundreds of thousands of
people denis aspires to look like her
but i don't get elated from working out
in the gym for two hours every day and
get more related by doing other things
so I just stick to them oh gosh than

ellic I you to do is to find all this
stuff really fascinating plastic surgery
it's the same as body modification you
know it's just I have not been able to
go to a plastic surgeon and get all the
modifications that I've had done because
they don't offer them my tongues but it
was actually my first like extreme
modification it was a little bit
different than this you know there was
two big heavily tattooed dudes holding
my tongue out slicing it in half there
was some crazy trance music playing in
the background
you know those people around me getting
tattoo it was very different to this my
experience at the clinic opened my eyes
the legs that young women are going to
in Brazil to obtain the perfect physique
I wanted to explore this more so I met
up with Larissa and her friends before
they hit the town for a night in San
Paulo
the rest is flat is in a gated community
in a wealthy area of the city called
chakra kaboom and has a 24-hour security
guard okay girls tell me like how long
will it usually take for you to get
ready to go out the really depends I'm
gonna get like you not know tomato sauce
I avow Hamas if Africa sauce altar is
there like a stereotypical like male
fantasy for brazilian girls to be like
funda
now I leaned over the big ass you long
hair long hair we suffer because of the
guys liking the long hair as you know
some Huma apenas photos Ami's concert
desert i recharged it was so mad bro but
I'm also a month away when the girls
were ready we headed out to Lions
nightclub in downtown San Paulo Gabriela
was going to drive us down as apparently
public transport would not be safe
because you're so young like you're only
23 and some women's breasts don't fully
develop until the ages of like 25 do you
ever thought about this in any way was
in Gia's Meninas a lasting operatic a
diverse Macedo yo Vicky days Oscar party
Jose de Caesar no suja post evolved
Arizona syriza platica taraji me so send
anova no credit key thing I see he's

the girl seemed to consider lions a safe
night pub to go to even though it is in
one of the most dangerous areas of San
Paulo city ladies ladies like tonight
you want beautiful would you feel
comfortable on your own right now no no
okay
I got and I said the settings I saw
Zinio sluggish math problems and it was
super Alice driver we take a cab cuz
walk along no way no way no way no way
not on these hours and he's worked early
knowing it's I was just wondering that
if you thought that that would put you
in any more danger on the streets of
Brazil by getting bigger breasts
that will be a problem rocket can water
I've come economies must be fatal
say smudge omentum we resolution is
about to minimize be turned on our work
but it's worth the risk by Levi moving
I admired Lewis's honesty and I can
understand the amount of pressure women
face in Brazil to achieve the mainstream
beauty standards even if helpful safety
risks are involved after leaving the
club I gave Priscilla and Ty you so cool
and went to meet them after their night
out
hi so beautiful right now my eyes I
can't deal chevre gonna move on and face
a bro a logic a brahminism car and a who
are quick anything to smoke a change for
anything that's handled I mean what some
reaction to get these two girls that
have shaped heads okay let's all sing to
foreign policy okay in also means
expected a DG remarkable also towed away

Sacramento's malaria ski Ashanti Kabir
Watson an emoji feminine liturgy if you
could say anything to the people out
there that seeking out a more individual
approach to their style but to upgrade
because the mainstream what do you say
proposes service amazement automatic
softening definite it's a brown cow
negra and hvordan cuts escapes onto some
other videos like many places
Brazil's beauty standards can create a
fixation with long hair or the body
beautiful seeing Tyson Priscilla's
refusal to be restricted by beauty
standards and bravely flying the flag
for diversity send a powerful message
that individuality is something to
celebrate
