Following the new true-crime drama ‘Honour’ based on victim Banaz Mahmod’s honour killing, her sister, Payzee has now decided to share her story. She has never publicly spoken about her sister before; and has actively campaigned against child marriage and honor-based violence.
“I’m working with various charities like IKWRO on a campaign called girls not brides. It’s basically to push the legal age of marriage to the age of 18 because at the moment the age is 16,” said Payzee.
Payzee started to get her tattoos around the time of her sister's death in 2006. She got her first tattoo, an inscription of her name on her left breast following an impulsive decision.
“When my sister passed away I was 18 and having my tattoos was almost a way to cope with my pain. The person I was when I got my tattoos to the person I am now has been a huge growth and I’m finally on my way to accepting my truth and becoming myself,” she said.
However, now Payzee has been visiting Pulse Light Clinic for a consultation for the removal of her tattoos. Pulse Light Clinic London was founded in 2000, and had started as the only clinic in London offering laser treatments for Rosacea developed with a precise technique involving IPL trechnology along with a well balanced diet provided by nutritional therapy. For any further information contact Nina: [email protected]
