I was impressed by this girl..she got her first ritual tatoos on her shoulder and back...her lower incisor teeth have been pulled out (they get her drunk to "ease" the process) and her lower lip still wears the wound of the first incision.
suffering and proudness were in her sight

JP, educating photo but I find it rather discomforting looking at it. I really sympathise with her pain. But I realise she is happy for feeling so beautiful.

krys, not sure she was "happy"..but proud for sure. Scars are made in a single day, using a strong acacia's thorn. buffalo dung is then inserted in the wound to have it inflate.
