Deep Thoughts About Tribal Marks
We are talking about:
1. Attitudes towards scarification and tattooing and how Western and Christian ideologies has affected how we see it as a negative thing (gang affiliated or evil) or a thing of beauty
2. Scarification as ancient identification cards and our personal thoughts on how that was an innovation and implications on today’s new systems and pros and cons
3. The medicinal aspect of the process as it relates to their way of life in those days when things like that actually did change the dynamics of their psychological and physical worlds
