Why Do People Decorate Their Bodies?

 Salome Gorgadze
 Surmese women
 The
surmese women wear a plate in their bottom lip. First , a
mother makes a hole in her daughter’s bottom lip. Then she
streches the lip. Then she puts a small plate in it. As daughter
gets older, she puts in bigger and bigger plates. Other people in
Africa put plates in their ears too.
 Pa Daunge – Giraffe women
 The Pa Daunge women in Myanmar are called “Giraffe
Women”. They have very long necks, like giraffes. The
woman wear metal rings to strech their necks. They wear
more rings as they get older. Their necks become longer.
Some women die if they take off the rings.
 Decorating Teeth
 Many americans and Europeans like white straight teeth.
They spend a lot of money to fix and clean teeth. In Africa
some people pull out their bottom teeth. They want their
top teeth to stick out. In Asia, women painted their teeth
black to look beautiful.
 Tattoo
People around the world always liked tattoos. Europeans
learned about it around 1770. A famous english explorer
named Captain Cook went to Tahiti. He saw people with
tattoo. The Tahitians taught Cook and his sailors how to
make tattoos. Soon tattoos spread to the rest of Europe.
