Yidįįłtoo
Yidiiltoo or Yidįįłtoo are the traditional face tattoos of Hän Gwich’in women, who are indigenous to Alaska and Canada. History The practice dates back at least 10,000 years. Traditionally girls of the Hän Gwich’in receive their first tattoos between the ages of 12 and 14, often at first menstruation. Missionaries of the 1800s and 1900s banned the traditional practice along with other cultural traditions. Starting in the 2010s, some indigenous girls and women began to reclaim the tradition. Description Typical markings include vertical lines from lower lip that extend to beneath the chin. According to tattoo anthropologist Lars Krutak, the width of the lines and the spacing between them were traditionally associated with which of the nine groups of Hän Gwich’in the girl was from. Other markings may be created on the temple or cheeks. Method of application The traditional method is a stick-and-poke using needles made from bird bones. Some modern pract ...

Face Tattoo
A face tattoo or facial tattoo is a tattoo located on the bearer's face or head. It is part of the traditional tattoos of many ethnic groups. In modern times, although it is considered taboo and socially unacceptable in many cultures, as well as considered extreme in body art, this style and placement of tattoo has emerged in certain subcultures in recent years. This is due to the continuing acceptance of tattoos and the emergence of hip-hop culture popularizing styles such as the teardrop tattoo. Traditions Face tattooing is traditionally practiced by many ethnic groups worldwide. As indicator of status, maturity, or beauty Ainu The Ainu people of northern Japan and parts of Russia, including Sakhalin, the Kuril Islands and Kamchatka Krai, have a practice of facial tattooing exclusive to women, in which a smile is inked around the mouth to prevent spirits from entering the body through the mouth.

Kakiniit
Kakiniit ( iu, ᑲᑭᓐᓃᑦ ; sing. ''kakiniq'', iu, label=none, ᑲᑭᓐᓂᖅ) are the traditional tattoos of the Inuit of the North American Arctic. The practice is done almost exclusively among women, with women exclusively tattooing other women with the tattoos for various purposes. Men could also receive tattoos but these were often much less extensive than the tattoos a woman would receive. Facial tattoos are individually referred to as tunniit ( iu, label=none, ᑐᓃᑦ), and would mark an individual's transition to womanhood. The individual tattoos bear unique meaning to Inuit women, with each individual tattoo carrying symbolic meaning. However, in Inuinnaqtun, kakiniq refers to facial tattoos. Historically, the practice was done for aesthetic, medicinal purposes, part of the Inuit religion, and to ensure the individual access to the afterlife. Despite persecution by Christian missionaries during the 20th century, the practice has seen a modern revival by organiza ...

Chipewyan is spoken over the largest area of any North American native language, while Navajo is spoken by the largest number of people of any native language north of Mexico.

The name was assigned by Albert Gallatin in his 1836 (written 1826) classification of the languages of North America.

Stick And Poke
A tattoo is a form of body modification made by inserting tattoo ink, dyes, and/or pigments, either indelible or temporary, into the dermis layer of the skin to form a design. Tattoo artists create these designs using several tattooing processes and techniques, including hand-tapped traditional tattoos and modern tattoo machines. The history of tattooing goes back to Neolithic times, practiced across the globe by many cultures, and the symbolism and impact of tattoos varies in different places and cultures. Tattoos may be decorative (with no specific meaning), symbolic (with a specific meaning to the wearer), or pictorial (a depiction of a specific person or item). Many tattoos serve as rites of passage, marks of status and rank, symbols of religious and spiritual devotion, decorations for bravery, marks of fertility, pledges of love, amulets and talismans, protection, and as punishment, like the marks of outcasts, slaves and convicts. Extensive decorative tattooing has also ...
