The Surma Tribe in Ethiopia

Among the Surma people, body painting is a daily practice that begins in childhood. Children enjoy painting their friends with original designs, which they apply by hand. The more original the designs, the more attention they attract. In adolescence, these decorations become tools of seduction—an aesthetic language meant to attract others and assert one’s identity.
