I’ve Traveled 36000km And Counting To Find The Last Tattooed Faces Of Asia
Beginning with a project about the Lai Tu people of Myanmar in 2015, I began documenting the last tribal facial tattoos in Asia. This ongoing project has taken me to three countries so far with two more planned for this year. The goal is to bring these people’s faces and stories together before they disappear. The project and the first book can be seen at tattoosofasia.com. I’d love to have you along for the ride!

Beautiful work! I like how the images can tell their own stories :)
Thank you, Mana! It's been a wonderful journey so far, and only 2 weeks until the next one!
