Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Fulani mouth tattoo: Young peul girl in Mali tattooing her mouth with needles and henna. Mouth tattoos are very common among the peul / fulani. It is practiced since the puberty of the girls and is restricted to the bottom part of the lip. When the woman is married, the upper part is also tattooed in black. Nowadays it is considered as ornaments, a touch of beauty and a sign of belonging. One of the theories to explain the practice is common for many other African tribes: the tattoo was used to deter slavers looking for unblemished girls.
The Fulanis women are tattooed of black on the edge of the mouth. This tattoo is practiced since the puberty for the girls; it is restricted to the bottom part of the lip but, when the woman is married, it must spread to the whole edge. Ferdinand Reus Français : Une jeune fille du peuple des Peuls au Mali, se tatoue la bouche. Elle utilise des aiguilles de couture, artisanalement groupées. Cette pratique et courante chez le peul/fulani. Elle est pratiquée dès la puberté des filles et alors limitée à la partie inférieure de la lèvre/bouche. Quand la femme est mariée, la partie supérieure est également tatoué en noir. Aujourd'hui, ce signe est considéré comme ornement et signe d'appartenance. Une des théories pour expliquer cette pratique trouvée chez de nombreuses autres tribus africaines est que le tatouage aurait été utilisé pour dissuader les négriers d'emporter les filles qu'ils recherchaient sans taches.
