The woman above was
photographed in Ammassalik in 1906,
And is tattooed on both arms and
across the breasts.
The same kind of designs are used on these legs.
In East Greenland the tattoo tradition has been alive
even untill today.
In these tattoos a poking technique has been used, and not the usual Inuit sewing technique.
