The Culture of Tattooing in Woman Society: The Ao Nagas and The Konyak Nagas

Author(s) Abel Kavahru, Changneu Ndang
Country India
Abstract The Konyak Nagas and Ao Nagas have separate cultural histories that are woven into their daily lives. Tattoos are deeply ingrained in both societies, acting as important symbols of personal identity and cultural history. This research is an attempt to understanding the tattooing process's philosophy and motivations, as well as a deep dive into the tattoo artist's methods and procedure. Tattooing is more than just adornment in many cultures; it plays an important part in social rituals, rites of passage, and reflects key life events. Each tribe has its own set of patterns and symbolism to honour cultural contributions and storytelling traditions. The goal of this essay is to take you on a fascinating journey through the historical significance, cultural connotations, and current changes in these civilizations. By analysing their complex tapestry of tattoo artistry, we may gain a greater understanding of how tattoos create identity, preserve history, develop social bonds, and spark discussions about cultural variety in Northeast India.
