Spider net faced tattoos
Laytsu Chin lasy with spider net faced tattoos
There are many minorities in Myanmar has tattooes.
I felt there are people from Europe are very interested in tattooes .
It seems to be interested in tattooes as first ,and tribes.
I didn't expect this .
Naga tribes have special tattooes which indicate head taker.
I didn't feel those people has tattooes indicate head taker are brave.
I just felt those people had killed peple before.
Luckily many of those Naga people with tattooes are old men.
I was not scared of them.
But some of them has fierce eyes & make me scared.
Actually they were just nervous because they met foreigners.
I read some articles regaridng faced tattooes about Chin tribes.
Many of articles mentioned faced tattooes had done to prevent burmese
soldier bring Chin ladies.
But I 'm quite doubtful for this articles.
It's really nice tattooes as art.
If they need to ttattoes to show as ugly ladies ,they don't need such a complicated designed faced tatttoes.
I don't feel the ladies who has faced tattooes are beautiful,too.
If you are interested in taking photos of tribals in Myanmar,you should not avoid t visit Laytu Chin villages.
To visit Laytu Chin villages is just by boat.
We don't need to trek or drive by jeep long hours.
They are living in the remote area ,but it's easy to access.
