Tattooing in Burma was a widespread custom practiced by various ethnic groups, including the Chin, Bamar, Shan, and Karen, until the 20th century.
Tattooing was a distinguishing cultural marker.
Southern Chin women were also tattooed on their faces with closely set lines using blue pigments, ostensibly to discourage them from being kidnapped by invaders. Chin women were typically tattooed between the ages of 15 and 20. The practice has quickly disappeared, as it was banned in the 1960s by Burma's socialist regime and it was discouraged by Christian missionaries.
