Tattoo - As it is with all nature people the tattoo has a great ritual meaning. It does not serve as a body decoration only but shall also make people immune against diseases. The girls get their first decorative scars at an age of about twelve under the breast, the second ones when they get their period and the third and most painful ones a woman has to put up with when she has born her first child. This procedure lasts two days because her entire body is being tattooed what must cause terrible pain. The reason why the women bear these pains is mainly therefore, that the deeper the scars are the more desirable they become for the men.
