Vanishing Tattoos of Borneo - Bejalai

[cael83100]

im from sabah:) i really like the way iban tatoing them self.. go borneo yeah..:)

[90genzi]

it was a tradition..not a symbol of gangster as nowadays people call its..

[TheCelticmaori]

we have a similiar tattoo in our culture/ well not a tatoo but the method. I'm a maori

[metallica271752]

I know it is traditional for the bunga terung to have 2, and for them to be positioned on the FRONT of the shoulder. So, would it be wrong / offensive to just receive 1, or to position them on the SIDE of the shoulder?

[tukaibilam]

Be proud of our culture. preserve them for future generation.

[RveltMisfits]

Can anyone show me pictures of traditional Kenyah tattoos? i want to learn more of my heritage and get a tattoo

[North321]

@McRhysburger you can google it but most are not really kenyah tattoos, more like a hybrid lol

[McRhysburger]

@North321 thanks :-) i've noticed that since i've been looking on google mainly, but my uncles came to visit and brought some of the wood blocks with them :D so now ive got to see some Kenyah tattoos from the village

[sasunoosan]

I'm proud to Iban.

I'm proud to declare that I'm Dayak in front of my fellow Malaysian...

Sadly, I do madly wanted to adore myself with Tattoos, unfortunately, my Parent forbade me from doing so!... :(

[katievhoneychurch]

some of the germanic and celtic tribes must have ancient descent from the pacfific groups because before being romanised they were all decribed as heavily tatooed.

my late grandfather had this 'bejalai' tattoos all over his body...i loved his tattoos but the sad part was i hadn't asked him bout his tattoos and after his death i discovered that was 'bejalai'...

[asalistics]

[Macvoon]

going back to Sarawak next week and can't wait to get a bungai terung tattoo done. proud of my iban heritage....

[motoakule]

my late grandparents(mother's side)& their relative (all frm ulu kapit) had their body tattoed.

my bro-in-law(wife's 2 brothers) hd their body tattoed too,one of them tattoing as part time/hobby. look photos in his friendster profile - justine jaxmoel

I love our tattos heritage,esp iban tattos and really wish to get it from Simon(my ex collegemate) but "they" are going to make a freaking royal issue. I was living in Manila and the Pinoy seem to love the Alibata tattos of their borneo heritage.. a symbol of pre "Spanish civilization". Proud of you Simon and Eddie. Sayang Sarawak!

[natsm16]

off course i am from kalinga philippines, northern luzon..i am glad i find the same cultures with this asian neighbors

[natsm16]

In Kalinga tattoos is the equivalent of a "medal of Valor Awardee"... headhunting.. since my childhood i want to document this things but i have no video camera to do it...i will only watch as this culture vanishes...i am happy i have found people who the same practices the way the kalingas

[gwennenec]

lol just visit borneo ink...

eddie and simon is there...

appoinment far ahead but u will love it..

cheers!!

[eatmyshitz]
