Title:
Burmese tattooing
Caption:
Burmese tattooing. Most Burmese were tattooed in blue from the waist, about the top of the cloth to the knee. The figures of tigers, ogres etc were encircled with scroll lettering. The tattooing of the body and arms was in red and was intended to secure immunity from sword or gunshot wounds, or success in love. After a 19th century photograph. From Customs of The World, published c.1913.
