Tattoo Artist Leaves a Positive Mark for Those With Alopecia
|
| When Joy was young, she didn’t know what was happening to her, but she was getting teased for losing her hair. She became insecure, and didn’t want to go outside or play with others. By the time Joy got married, she had lost all the hair on her body, including her eyebrows. One day, Joy met Edwin, a tattoo artist who gives free services to people with Alopecia. "The following day when I woke up, it was like me being reborn." And Edwin? When people ask him what they can do in exchange for his services, he says: "Just pay it forward." |
