Not a big fan of tribal marks but I'm really fancy the fulani traditional mouth/ lips tattoos. At a point, I almost considered getting one myself. Lol
The "socou-gol" as its known aren't make up or drawn everyday(I used to think it was a daily make up regimen) but a permanent body art.learnt lower lip and gum are tattooed at puberty while upper lip is done once the girl gets married. I love that!
No pictures unfortunately.

Tribal marks if done in moderation are quite hot. It accentuates beauty.

My favorite tribal marks; single and double horizontal/vertical lines.


for ex:

I doubt if this girl is Yoruba.

She is lol.

Anywaz, my mom has the same tribal mark lol. Makes her more beautiful

Tribal marks make you an easy target in inter-tribal conflicts. If you don't have the marks,you can easily claim to be from a neutral tribe.
