  • Back tattoos of Taitá Koroka of Hisiu village, Papua New Guinea. They were hand-tapped with a lemon thorn tool by a female expert. After Mrs. Koroka was tattooed, she was compelled to fast for five days. During this period, she could only eat food with a fork and never with her bare hands. Once she was ready to be washed, she was led down to the ocean and bathed with an unidentified local herb and seawater.

  • U’chin is a Macham Naga warrior in his early 80s living in Myanmar. Around 1956, he journeyed on foot for 3 days to the East and captured a human head from Heimi Naga enemies. For this feat of bravery, he was tattooed by a female tattooist along with his comrades who acquired the body parts of the victim. A special ceremony was held to cleanse the blood of the victim from their bodies, which was believed to be polluting. I was told the neck lines represented “strength.”#myanmar #naga #sagaing #tribaltattoo #traditionaltattoo #facial #facetattoo #heritage #traditional #indigenous #indigenousart #indigena #tatuagem #tatuajes #tatouage #culturalheritage #travelphotography #travelphoto #lahe #tatoo #tattoos #tatuaggio #spirits #culture #necktattoo
