Holi-yoruba Tattoos (not Safe For Work) by Ikengawo: 12:22am On Feb 12, 2016 |
a bit of cultural nudity, but it should not be seen as vulgar is it is a way of life for the Holi-Yoruba people in Benin Republic. Their tattoo patterns are getting a lot of attention as of late, so if you're sensitive to nudity don't scroll otherwise here's the culture of the Holi and their famous tattoos |

remind my of Fulani/Kanuri patterns. Benin Republic has a lot of unadulterated african culture so this is possibly a link into seeing yoruba land prior to white intervention. 2 Likes |

Ikengawo, It's Ohori, you are using alada to pronounce it. Of course there are beautiful body ornaments like this on my peeps. I'm of the folks, it doesn't reduce our humanity. And what of the flying Oduduwa, the one trained by KGB? That should come last in this comic relief series. |

It's not "cultural nudity" just photographic nudity in order to see the tatoos as they're covered up in their culture, but these old women don't mind showing them for informative reasons. They're nice tatoos but are not done anymore and are visual relics of the past on the bodies of those old ladies who had it done when young. |
