The womens of this tribe gets a unique tattoo once they reach certain age though it is not practiced now a days but still u can find 1 with these tattoos
Theres a saying about these tattoos that how the practice started. It is said that when britishers came to india they ruled india, but they couldnt reach the northeast part of india properly due to a really hard terrain. But they did try , so afraid of britishers tat they might kidnap women and rape them they started tattooing there face to make them look ugly and stop outsiders from raping women. and actually not only for bristisher but there use to be many tribe wars back in early days.
