For Sophie Mayanne, the story is behind a scar.<\/h2>\n<p>An <strong>indelible mark<\/strong> of the skin that cannot be erased or removed. There are those who choose to get a <strong>tattoo<\/strong> thus imprinting a message on their skin, a <strong>meaning<\/strong> that will never abandon it. Even those who have a scar, more or less visible on their body, every time they look at it will remember the meaning it had in their life.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-88215\" src=\"\/\/www.waitfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Schermata-2020-09-08-alle-14.01.08.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1234\" data-id=\"88215\"><\/h2>\n<p>The difference? The <strong>scars<\/strong>, compared to <strong>tattoos<\/strong>, are not chosen. Today at least that&#8217;s the way things are, but if we go a little back in time, perhaps it will surprise us to discover that tattoos and scars have more in common than we think.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>ancient Romans<\/strong> strongly believed in the purity of the human body, which is why the tattoo was forbidden and became the tool used to brand <strong>criminals<\/strong> and condemned to death. A sign that identified those who did not want to adapt to the <strong>rules of society<\/strong>. A sign that no one chose, but that others imposed. Not much different then from a scar, is it?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-88214\" src=\"\/\/www.waitfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Schermata-2020-09-08-alle-13.53.52.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1062\" height=\"1010\" data-id=\"88214\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Always frightened by those who show themselves with a different aspect from ours.

It is Tessa from @tofacetheworld and I will be taking over Behind The Scars this weekend! I am excited to share with you! I was born with a port wine stain birthmark as part of the Sturge Weber Syndrome that I have. SWS also came with eye pressure issues for me and because of that I am blind on my right side. But no worries, I can almost do everything and will share so with you this weekend! Other than that, I am born and raised in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and love books, documentaries, writing, lots of yoga, and much more! #takeover #tofacetheworld #behindthescars #portwinestain #birthmark #sturgewebersyndrome #glaucoma #eyepressure<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\">Un post condiviso da <a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px;\" href=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/behindthescars_\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Behind The Scars<\/a> (@behindthescars_) in data: <time style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;\" datetime=\"2019-12-14T10:49:09+00:00\">14 Dic 2019 alle ore 2:49 PST<\/time><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>What is surprising is the light, ironic and direct tone with which the protagonists of the photographic series tell their stories.
