With just a few of the artists at this year’s edition of Lebanon’s annual tattoo festival being women, one might expect female practitioners to have to fight hard to establish their place in the tattoo scene.

“I think it’s very cool to be a female tattoo artist, it gives us extra opportunities,” she said, explaining that women often felt more comfortable getting their bodies inked by a female artist.
