    Henna was used as medecine too, the sampls added are not all for henna painting. Thry are categorised as berber symbols but more for potry and textil.

    A quiz: what was used as nadle for tatoos and thr ink ?
  • Great article, Sarah. Just wondering where I could get a copy of the reference images (tattoos & meanings). I'd love to read more about the Berber facial tattooing and their symbolic meaning...
    PS. Do Berber men have facial tattoo's also? Or only Berber women?

  • Love them! Very nice, very interesting (the symbols and their meanings)! Thanks for the article.
