The Chin people have been living in the north-east of India since ancient times (from about the 1st millennium BC). After the collapse of the primitive society and the end of clashes with the local population, the settlements united and at the end of the 20th century a state called Chin was formed.
The faces of women are decorated with mysterious tattoos. In fact, this is a tribute to an ancient tradition and a kind of deliberate deformity of the face. The fact is that the Chin women were very beautiful and they were often abducted by men from other tribes. Therefore, it was decided to make them less attractive - to paint the face completely.
The components of the paint are bile, soot, black beans. A woman has always played the role of a tattoo artist. Today, these traditional tattoos are strictly prohibited as an inhuman barbaric custom and can only be found on older women. If a young woman decides to decorate herself in this way, she will face a huge fine.
