Tribal Marks... by ijigbamigb(m): 10:29am On Oct 06, 2012
I have always wondered why some parents had heartlessly marked the face of innocent babies. I have always tried to know why? What are the justifications for these marks?
Do you have any tribal mark?
I have a straight mark right on my jaw, and my parents told me it has no cultural basis but traditional medical solution to the tooth problems I had while young.

Can anyone provide explanations please?
