The last of the remaining tribe women with these magnificent tattoos drawn on their face. The tribes first began to ink their faces as a way of disfiguring their beauty, to make themselves unattractive in hopes that by doing so, they could avoid being kidnapped or chosen as concubines by the Burmese kings.
