Not all of the Karen tribe use neck rings as part of their tradition.

The neck rings are made from brass and are added each year the child grows. An adult woman can wear as many as 25 rings around her neck.

There is a myth about how long the neck will stretch as the rings are applied. In fact the neck itself does not stretch, its just a visual illusion.

The reason for wearing the rings is a bit of a mystery but when asked, the women told that it was because they didn't want Tigers biting them! Others have said that it makes them look attractive for their husbands.


http://www.thaimedicalnews.com/

The down side of wearing the rings is that over time their neck muscles become weak, and this is used as a form of punishment against adultery. Once the rings are taken off, the woman's neck is so weak she has to lie down for the rest of her life. Not surprising then that the divorce rate and adultery is very low in the tribe.

Other members of the Karen tribes wear large earrings that are made to make the ears look big and heavy. But its the neck rings that make the Padaung Tribe famous.

The Apatani People

The Apatani are a tribe of people who live in the Ziro Valley which is in the lower Subansiri or district of Arunachal Pradesh in India. There are over 26,000 of the tribe living in the valley and across the country. Their language is Tibetan and is called Sino Tibetan also known as Tani.They have no written history, so their stories and lifestyle is passed down from generation to generation.

Body modification is an ancient art form, and many tribes around the world have practised these strange and sometimes bizarre form of body art for centuries. To us they look strange and unfamiliar, but to them its part of their tradition and holds many parts of their tribe together, as time passes and the world begins to intrude on their lives.

In the Apatani tribe women wear nose plugs. This is an ancient art form of their tradition, but these days you will only see the elder women of the tribe wearing them as the art has died out ever since the 1970s.

The story goes that the women were said to be the most beautiful in all the land, and were constantly being bombarded by other tribes trying to steal their women. So they came up with the idea of the Nose Plugs to try and make themselves unattractive.


kmle.co.kr

There is definitely a pattern between tribes of the world with this in mind. Along with the Apatani, the Long Neck women above also said this was part of the reason why they added the neck rings. The nose rings are known as yaping hurlo and are made from local wood, though when researching this I couldn't find the exact method or wood that they used. Its possible that some of the nose plugs were made from bamboo. The women also tattoo their faces to complete the art.

African Mursi Tribe

The Mursi tribe are an ethnic people who live in Southwestern Ethiopia. The area is close to the Sudan border. According to the national census of 2007, there are 7,500 Mursi. The area in which they live is surrounded by mountains and has one major river named the Omo. It is one of the most isolated regions in the whole country.

Their language is part of the Nilo Saharan, and is simply called the Mursi language.

Once again we see that the body modification art is commonly used only by the women of the tribe. In the case of the Mursi women, it was believed to stop slave traders taking the women. But there are probably many other reasons too that have been lost over time.

The lip plate or plug is inserted into the top lip or lower lip through a hole that has been pierced. Over time, the plate is removed and another one is inserted to make the hole bigger. This is said to be most painful to the women, and each time it is stretched it causes it to bleed. The actually term is described as labret, which means pierced lip ornaments.


tumblr.com

The plate or plug is made out of clay or wood. It all depends on what region the tribe is from whether the women place the plate in the top lip or lower lip. It has been said that it is a form of status, the bigger the plate the more important the woman. The disturbing thing about it is that when the plate is put in the lower lip, the women has her two lower front teeth knocked out to accommodate the plate. Sometimes there are up to four teeth taken out.

In the Mursi tribe, the tradition of lip piercing is usually undertaken a year before the marriage ceremony. To begin with the bride to be's mother will pierce the hole with a knife and then a wooden peg is placed in the hole. Once this has healed, the peg is removed and the first plate is inserted.


lauradutoit.hubpages.com

As you can see, there are many tribes around the world who have lip piercing. In some parts of the Amazon, it is only the men who have their lips pierced and a plate inserted. The Suya tribesmen pierce their lower lip purely to make themselves more attractive. The women go for a more startling look with two plates.
