People are divided into three categories: those who fundamentally do not get tattoos; those who made a tattoo out of stupidity and those who deliberately decorate their bodies. Representatives of the third group seriously believe that tattooing can change a person's life, as well as improve and correct fate. Whether this is true or not, the question remains open. But the fact that this category of tattoo lovers is very serious about choosing a pattern on the body is a fact. But there are also people for whom tattooing is a tradition. The most striking example is the women of the Apatanis tribe. From time immemorial, they have applied drawings to their faces in order to… spoil the natural beauty.
This precaution was introduced by the elders centuries ago to preserve the size of the dying tribe. There were few girls in those days. Some of them were taken as wives by men from neighboring villages (they say that the representatives of Apatanis were extremely beautiful). As a result, their gentlemen were left without a pair.
To avoid this, young girls began to get tattoos on their faces, to put tunnels in their ears and nose in order to scare away other people's men. It must be admitted that the idea was successful, and the women of the tribe still traditionally apply a drawing on their faces to emphasize that they are Apatanis and are ready to marry only a representative of their tribe.
From the outside, such "patriots" look at least strange, if not frightening. But you can't argue with traditions. Either way, small wrist tattoos from photographer Austin Tott look much more harmonious.
