Chin Women Tattoo - Why?

You may ask why some Chin women got tattoo on their faces? Yes there has been a question for Tattooed Chin Women among Myanmar community too. According to one legend, the tattooing emerged as a way to make Chin women less attractive and protect them from predatory Burmese kings – but Parkitny is not convinced, given that the practice was once widespread in Asia. But some Chin elderly women themselves say the marks were a stamp of womanhood and attractiveness. Anyhow, today, the Chin girls do not want to get tattoos anymore, because they don’t feel this is beautiful decoration.
