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.

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.
