The art and practice of tattooing can be found all over the world. It is a global cultural phenomenon. Tattoo culture is still practiced on every continent up until today.
“On the skin” is an ethnographic photography series about the custom and culture of facial tattoos of the Chin-women in the mountains of Burma.
