The Last Tattooed Headhunter of Nagaland #Culture #lndegenoustribe #Nagaland

Meet one of the last tattooed elders of the Konyak tribe of Nagaland. Every mark on his face is a chapter of history. His facial tattoos marked bravery and headhunting honors, his stretched ears and chest tattoos marked status, and his necklace of boar tusks and brass heads was once a symbol of warrior rank. Today, Christianity and modern life have ended the old ways. The art of hand-tapped tattooing is almost gone. These elders are the last living libraries of a vanishing warrior culture. This is not just a face. This is a fading archive. #Nagaland #Konyak #Headhunter #NagaTribe #LastOfTheTattooed #VanishingCulture
