She wants to get her first tattoo soon, even though she's worried about her parents' reactions. "Egyptian youth are, without a doubt, becoming more open", she says. "We have more understanding about other cultures. We are more rebellious regarding traditions and restrictions because we are trying to give ourselves a better chance to choose, to be ourselves and act freely."
