In a world inundated with photo-shopped images of the female body, it can be hard for real-life women to accept their real-life bodies. Outside of the realm of the airbrush, scars, wrinkles, discolorations and uneven textures abound, often to the distress of the women to whom these “imperfections” belong.

Luckily, Barcelona-based artist Cinta Tort Cartró and other artists are helping women see their natural bodies differently.

According to Cartró, all bodies are beautiful:

“Every one of us is different and, at the same time, every body has one form or another and has its own essence and energy. There are many types of bodies, the same way there are many different kinds of stretch marks,” reads her Instagram (written in Spanish).

“Painting Yacine, Monica, and Roser, I observed their skin in great detail; the delicacy that existed in each of the women, the time, beauty, and essence that each of them had hidden. There are people with more stretch marks and fewer stretch marks; people with thicker and thinner stretch marks; people with darker or lighter marks; and in this, in the diversity, there is richness.”

Here are 60 times that Cartró, and other artists (mainly tattoo) have transformed stretch marks and other bodily imperfections into gorgeous works of art.

Remember – you’re beautiful!
