Tattooing in Myanmar
Tattooing in Burma was a widespread custom practiced by various ethnic groups, including the Bamar, Shan, and Karen, until the 20th century.
Tattooing was a distinguishing cultural marker. For instance, the Arakanese people who are related to the Bamar did not practice tattooing.〔 Similarly, the Mon people did practice tattooing, but did not tattoo their thighs unlike the Bamar.
==Origins==
Among the Bamar, the custom of tattooing originates from the Shan people, who believed that tattoos had magical or spiritual connotations, used in a similar manner as amulets and protective charms. This practice coincided with the Shan States' control of Upper Burma from the 14th to 17th centuries, as the Shan, themselves tattooed, introduced this practice to the Bamar.
However, with the onset of colonial rule in Burma, the practice of tattooing quickly became extinct, particularly in Burmese towns.〔 During the 1930s, tattooing saw a resurgence in popularity among rebels who participated in peasant and millennial uprisings. Men tattooed themselves to provide immunity to bullets and knives.〔 The practice of tattoo is regaining popularity among Burmese youth.
