RE: Face tattooed women: unusual way of self protection. My personal travel notes about Myanmar #Photo Essay

in #travel6 years ago

Thank you for your question @mandolincarls

As our guide told us face tattooing was a very painful process. Girls underwent face tattooing when they were 10 or 12 years old. The tattoos were made by skillful women. As utensils they used sharp thorns (as a needle), leaves (which gave color) and soot. After the procedure a special vegetable mask was applied to remove inflammation.
