Took a boat trip towards the Chin State, where older woman have tattooed faces.  A tradition that younger woman no longer carry on. West of Myanmar.

Me fui en barco hacia el Estado Chin, lugar donde algunas mujeres mayores tienen la cara tatuada, una tradición que está desapareciendo.  Oeste de Myanmar.

  1. Why do they tatoo their faces? Is it done after they are married?

    1. Someone told me they did it to shock and keep away the foreign men from other tribes. But the answer I got more often is that the tattoos were ornamental and for the woman to look beautiful. Thanks for following! I still haven't figured out how to send invitations. Am working in it!
