Eternal Clothing; The Tattooed Shaman of Mentawai

Fade Meraki ventures into the jungle of Siberut Island, West Sumatra to meet the tattooed indigenous Shaman of the Mentawai tribes. She crosses oceans, rivers, swamps and jungles to the remote wooden Uma where this tribe live an original traditional lifestyle. She learnt to speak Bahasa Indonesian in order to translate the interviews and be able to travel in this remote location.
Fade Meraki learns about tattoo culture, traditions and Shamanic practices with the tribal elders. Fade Meraki makes tattoo tools with the Shaman and ink from ash. She gets tattooed in the jungle and reunites with her adoptive Mentawai tribal mother and Aman Lau Lau, the chief of the village.

Over proud embarrassment, as West Sumatran myself a complete multiracial fluent multilingual living around the world all alone since childhood not doing such a tacky comment.

It's good to see your own body is also well-equipped and ornamented with tattoos and symbolism. It shows you are living what you preach. Also note that in their traditional religion keeping the bod attractive and beautiful is supposed to make the Soul delight in living in it. That is how it SHOULD be 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥

I believe there are ancient bodies dating back 5000 years with tattoos. It blows my mind that we've nearly always done it.

[@RIZFERD]

It's even older than Toba Sumatra erupted 75,000 years ago
Fun fact, Native Sumatra and Borneo/Kalimantan are ancestors of Indian American
