In i-D’s latest series of Beyond Beauty, tattoo artist and activist Grace Neutral is back exploring individual expressions of beauty. This time Grace travels to São Paulo, Brazil to investigate the tensions between the mainstream beauty standards and alternative underground youth rebelling against them. In the first episode, our favourite tattoo-covered alien princess discovers more about the pressures to have the ‘perfect body’ and long hair. From an all-female tattoo studio to a plastic surgeon’s office, Grace meets a range of young women to find out about how perceptions of femininity and identity are changing in Brazil.
