FAQ About The Evolution of Traditional Arab Tattooing
What role did gender play in traditional Arab tattooing practices?
Gender roles in traditional Arab tattooing varied by region and tribe. In many communities, women were more likely to receive tattoos than men, often as part of beauty rituals or rites of passage. Tattoos could mark a woman’s coming of age or marital status. Men, on the other hand, might receive tattoos related to warrior status or tribal affiliation.
