sourpussoctopus 170 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Story of a 19th-century woman who became famous for her facial tattoos, acquired while she lived with a Mohave tribe (she was captured as a girl). I'm always interest to see what native tattoos look like, so I thought you guys would like too. polliwog 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
polliwog 866 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 For further reading there's also: Blue Tattoo - University of Nebraska Press I haven't read this yet but should rectify that soon, since her other book pushed me to get more tattoos. Some of the Kurdish tattoos that @Pugilist posted about recently, though the designs are pretty different, reminded me slightly of Olive Oatman's tattoo in terms of placement and overall effect. sourpussoctopus 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
