The Chin people in the remote mountain town of Mindat, have been marking women in the area with intricate face tattoos for centuries.. With a variety of styles and designs the detailed markings have a deep rooted cultural significance to the largely Christian community. Chin State, Myanmar, 2017

Women of the Kayan tribes identify themselves by their forms of dress. Women are well known for wearing neck rings, brass coils that are placed around the neck, appearing to lengthen it. Girls first start to wear rings when they are around 5 years old. Over the years, the coil is replaced by a longer one and more turns are added. The weight of the brass pushes the collar bone down and compresses the rib cage. The neck itself is not lengthened; the appearance of a stretched neck is created by the deformation of the clavicle.
