FAQ About The Cultural Significance of Tattoo Art Across Cultures
Are there any gender-specific tattoo practices in cultures worldwide?
Yes, many cultures have distinct tattoo practices based on gender. For example, in traditional Samoan society, males and females receive different tattoo types (the Pe'a for men and the Malu for women), each bearing unique patterns and meanings related to gender roles and cultural responsibilities. Similar distinctions can be seen in other cultures where tattoos express gender-specific spiritual or social purposes.
