Katya Muromtseva "Feminists against the War" Temporary Tattoo

“Women in Black” is a series of watercolors dedicated to a wave of quiet protests that engaged women dressed in black, holding white flowers as if in mourning. These protests against the war in Ukraine  took place in different cities of Russia and around the world. In photographs of the recent Russian protests I used for these works, the heads are often cropped out, so the authorities cannot identify the activists. I created these works to share my belief that it is possible to raise your voice against injustice under any kind of pressure, even if your protest looks like a wake. I stand in solidarity with everyone who has the courage to protest the war in any possible manner.

Designed to create the impression of a realistic tattoo, they’re quick and easy to apply and can last for up to one week with the right care.
