Brian Finn, a tattoo artist from Ohio, spends one day per week inking people scarred by domestic violence, human trafficking and self-harm in order to help them recover from their respective ordeals. The artist, who has been tattooing for nearly 17 years, does this completely free of charge.

It all started in October 2015 when several clients couldn’t afford to cover their violence-related scars. “It’s just something I can do that won’t take much time that can make a big impact on other people,” said Finn. “A tattoo can help disguise the scars, so… it’s like a new chapter,” he added.
