I feel very disturbed when i see people especially kids with scary tribal marks. Different ethnics with different patterns of tribal,some even look like a tiger tear on the face. I dont support this lackluster behaviour which poses jeopardy on the appearance of the individual..Now peeps,i want to know the importance of this tribal marks. What is the main reason behind it?
Thanks in advance for your comments.

yea that was what i always thought but how can u make someone identifiable through razor marks. I guess they are other reasons.

Some believe it is for some sorta protection!

wow..protection from witchcraft??

Emmy9ite: wow..protection from witchcraft??

Yeah maybe.

A friends of mine had her tribal marks when she lost her dad. .
the marks were believed to protect her from her fathers spirit. . .
Perhaps to prevent him from taking her with him,
Because of the love he had for her when he was alive.



Funny believes if you ask me.

LWKMD. Are u kidding me? This is very serious. Thank God for christianity.

stop lieing and being ignorant about issues you don not know about or experienced, baboons.

Tribal marks are a symbol of identification as belonging to a tribal group and denote a persons duty in working towards ones tribal society and defending it in time of need. in the past, war prisoners, if captured faced execution and tribal marks were an immediate give-away. therefore there was no choice bt to fight unto death to protect ones people. so it also symbolises bravery in the days when people would die to commit their duty and social responsibility.

your todays cowardly chrisitan generation obviously cannot cope wit or understand such things.

yes symbols of identification (today) and bravery (in the past). also going through the very pain is also a symbol of bravery. however the pain goes off in a day or two.
