Lmao. You people are sick

It depends on how bad the tribal mark(s) is instead there are some gud looking fitting tribal jams on the face.
My dad has about 12 tribal marks lined up on his dear handsome face.

***winks***

well i think the best thing to do is for tht fellow to opt face transplant. just like what michael jackson did.
we nigerians we fail to appreciate our culture, appearances etc. which God bestowed upon us.
pls and pls let him/she praise God as far as you are alive, you r not better than those dead so learn to be contended & let the spirit of God guide you in all u do.

oyinda.:

i agree.
I met this lady with a slight burn mark (fire accident or something) on her face and thought that it very peculiar in a nice way.

Go do am now?

Sandpaper and caustic soda will do the job! Wink

What?! U want make am turn MJ?

and where is mj now?

It's very easy for folks to say tribal marks are no big deal when they don't have to deal with those scars on their faces.
Anyone here who had teenage acne growing up can agree with me that it erodes one's confidence because you think everyone around you is counting and measuring the acne bumps on your face.
@ the poster,advice your friend to see a good cosmetic surgeon if they are in a developed country .Unfortunately most of those deep groovy ones cannot be completely erased but can be lightened and covered with good make up.
A woman's looks are everything ro her.
I met a young woman recently (here in the states),a recent immigrant with very long horizontal and vertical marks on her face and she couldn't even look people in the eyes.

It is now illegal in Oshun and several other states to tribally mark innocent children.
Those things serve no purposes in today's world,they are barbaric.I wish the government would use a few handful of parents to set an example and warn others not to do this to kids.
If an adult wants tribal marks,he can get 64 on each cheek if he chooses, not children.
That is one culture that ought to be dead and buried together with FGM.

she couldn't look people in the eyes because of low self-esteem - not necessarily because she had tribal marks.

I don't just know what 2 suggest but whatever the very person does about it, she has 2 be veeery careful knowing fully well dat she is dealing life. GOOD LUCK.

I cannot remeber the exact spelling, but its called Bacuten or Carnestein. Ask your local Nigerian chemist. It works over a period of say 4 months.

Caveat emptor

bros, becuten na for eczema not for tribal marks oooo!

USe Eraser and acid

Try Sand Paper and Body Filler but do not fight Lion again


Just give thanks to God. Do you know Seal?

Its extremely difficult for tribal marks to be removd or reduced in African / African americans. This is becauseof the fact that we produce a lot of scar tissue with any invasion/breakage of the skin. Any process to try and even it out would require further breaking the skin which could lead to worse results (ask seal)

Na waoo,Is this thread still on?. . .The Poster neva cut that yin face troway?

To erase a tribal mark,
it is just mere seeking
for a worse one as the
case may be.



Nigeria Is Blessed.

George_D:

what gave her the low self esteem in the first place? is it not the stupid tribal marks?
maybe u shud et one so u ca know ow it feels.
@poster let her visit one of this beautishops.
you can try quincy. or better still use google search

a number of factors other than the tribal marks could have been responsible for the low self-esteem. societal pressures, peer group, etc

@ dappssee, ve u tried that acidic formula urself? I BELIEVE THERE IS NO NEED REMOVING TRIBAL MARKS. IF U HAVE IT, LIKE IT 4 U ARE WHAT AND WHO U THINK U ARE AND WHAT PEOPLE SAY U ARE. IF I VE TRIBAL MARK, I WILL WALK AROUND IN IT, SHOULDER HIGH!!!!!!!!!!!

THAT IS MY ROMANTIC GIST FOR THIS POST

i think the tribal mark tingy started during the trans atlantic slave trade,and it went on and on,so that identification can be easy,and people can trace their anscestors,its of no use now

It was during intertribal wars amongst the Yorubas .
The Oyo people wanted to know their people and differentiate them from the Ijebus etc
Obviously a smart way to identify who was who.
It had it's place then
not needed in today's world
no need to stigmatize kids
