Great Big Story | The traditional Kurdish tattoo made from breast milk and soot 😯 @GreatBigStory | Uploaded 3 months ago | Updated 2 days ago
The Kurdish deq tattoo is a traditional form of body art with deep historical roots and significance across several cultures.
Spanning thousands of years and multiple continents, these tattoos were a long-standing common practice especially amongst older women, but the art form has witnessed a decline in recent years amongst younger generations. In this love letter to Kurdish women and their practices, meet Fatê Temel, the young woman practicing and preserving this endangered tradition against all odds.
