India’s OLDEST Tattoo Culture- GODNA

Описание: India’s tattoo history didn’t start in modern studios — it began deep inside the forests of Central India, long before machines, ink bottles, or trends.
This video explores Godna, the ancient tattoo tradition of the Baiga tribe, where women wear identity, protection, and heritage directly on their skin.

Across generations, these tattoos marked:
• Life transitions
• Clan identity
• Spiritual protection
• Cultural belonging
• A woman’s journey from childhood to adulthood

Based on real ethnographic research, this video documents how Godna was created using hand-made needles, natural pigments, and rituals passed down for centuries.
Today, this ancient tradition is fading — threatened by modernization, stigma, and social change.

This is a tribute to the women who carry their history on their skin.
