Shaman tattooby ~richbrenner

Photography / People & Portraits / Spontaneous Portraits

This is the tattoo method used by the kerei medicine men of Siberut Island in the Mentawais. The "ink" is a gooey mixture of coconut and banana leaf ashe and the needle is a small rusty nail stuck through a piece of hardwood. It takes days of this painful method just to cover one limb.

I do my thing,and you do your thing.I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,and you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you,and I am I,and if by chance,we find each other,it's beautiful. If not,it can't be helped. ~F.S. Pearls
