Ruchira from United States on August 06, 2012: Overall the article naturally was very well researched as always. Nell maybe I am of simple mind but the images disturbed me a little and quite frankly scared me. Hi rcrumble, I nearly choked on my cuppa tea! haha! so funny! I had a mother in law like that! thanks for reading, cheers nell Hi Angela, lol! yes that's so true! never thought of that! thanks for making me laugh, and for reading my hub, cheers nell I would love to know who came up with the idea! so painful, and uncomfortable, thanks so much, nell Hi Ruchira, yes I do understand what you mean, and yes its definitely always the woman, saying that the Amazonian tribe do it too.
Hi Qudsia, I do understand, they can be a bit disturbing especially if you haven't seen them before, I have watched this sort of thing on tv lots of times so it was quite familiar, thanks for reading, and nice to see you! Nell Rose (author) from England on August 06, 2012: I was very impressed with this piece, and the knowledge gleaned. I love the unusual, as well as customs all over the world. That is so bizarre but so beautiful at the same time! Very interesting as always!ĭeb Hirt from Stillwater, OK on August 06, 2012: Tammy from North Carolina on August 06, 2012: I loved the information you gave, just feel sorry for the women. I know this is a tradition, I know me.I would be the first woman to break this tradition. The neck rings, Lordy who wants to wear something that weakens the neck. I would be on the first boat out of there. Very interesting Nell, but OMG the lip plate is a bit much. Ruby Jean Richert from Southern Illinois on August 06, 2012:
Thank you for all the very interesting descriptions, and for the photos and videos of some strange (according to our traditions) body art forms. Linda Crampton from British Columbia, Canada on August 06, 2012:įascinating information, Nell! The only tribe I had heard of before was the first one. The photos are a great enhancement to the post. I don't know how the women can function with those lip plates, seems so cruel. I found this so fascinating and learned much from your post. Some of these practices seem bizarre, but then cosmetic plastic surgery is pretty gross too. Voted up!Ĭhristopher Antony Meade from Gillingham Kent. I really appreciate them who have unique tradition. Your hub has shown that we are not alone. We life in beautiful world with various culture. Prasetio30 from malang-indonesia on August 07, 2012: Hi pras, always nice to see you, yes the world is a colorful place and it makes it lovely, thanks so much for reading, nell Nell Rose (author) from England on August 07, 2012: Wouh! Thank you Nell for presenting a wonderful human world. Yes as you have stated, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. The rings around the neck are painful even to look at. I enjoyed reading, but the lip plate looks like sheer torture. You have showcased the tribe so very well and I have come to know so much more. The long necked tribe seem to be fascinating. Nithya Venkat from Dubai on August 08, 2012: They need to end those things now so that no other ladies, have to deal with them at all. I am also praying for the ladies,who are going through those things now. I am praying for the ladies that went through those things, in the past.
Thanks Lightshare, glad you liked it, nell Hi Vellur, yes the long neck tribe look amazing but it must be so uncomfortable for the ladies, as for the lip plates, well, less said the better! lol! thanks so much, nell Hi Integrity, yes I totally agree with you, thanks as always for reading, nell Enjoyed this hub and didn't know any of this.
