Tattoo

Sambil2 shooting 4 assignment last year kt sarawak, aku menyempatkan diri shooting 4 personal collection. This time i was lucky enuf to to be able to shoot traditional tattoos belonging to Kenyah and Kayan's tribe.
Tattoo kt atas ni traditional tattoo 4 Kenyah. Tattoo dier xla se-intricate and detail as tattoo Kayan but cantik. Mengikut citer nenek nie, dier memula tattoo kt tangan jer. Lepas kawen baru dier buat tattoo kt kaki. Tattoo ni amek maser lame nk siap, dier x siap 1 day jer. so, tattoo artist dier buat step by step. ari nie buat sket, pastu selang 3,4 ari sambung balik. continue sampai la siap. nenek ni citer time kener tattoo dier nangis jer coz sakit. so, in order nk memujuk, org2 yg ader kat sekeliling dier time dier kener tattoo tu akan nyanyi kt dier lagu. dier pun demo la kat aku camner sound lagu tu, tp aku xbley la nk demo kt sini, hehehe sebab aku pun dh x baper ingat dh camner bunyi n lyrics dier.

Ni sample tattoo org Kayan. Nampak plain jer kan, tp kalo korang tgk dekat2, tattoo ni actually detail giler babeng. detail sampai nampak cam plain. satu lg maybe tattoo ni pun dh lamer kt kulit nenek ni, so dh kembang sket kot. ntah ar, aku pun xtau, main kasik jer assumption ni. Tattoo nenek Kayan ni plak lg la susah nk buat, lg time consuming, n 4 sure lg la sakit. this is a traditional art, n I was lucky enuf to witness and experience dis with my own eyes.

Sampai kt peha woo tattoo. according to nenek Kenyah ni, lain org lain tattoo dier. for example, nenek ni datang dr keluarga otai tribe ni, lebey kurang cam ruler tribe la. so tattoo dier banyak sket, kalo kire2 ader 5 lines kt kaki. so, ader certain org, ader 3 jer. benda2 ni melambangkan status of the family la kot. nenek ni pun citer lg, nowadays, bebudak muda tribe Kenyah ni dh x buat dh tattoo traditional ni. if ader pun sket sgt orgnyer. x mustahil la 1 day, traditional tattoo ni akan pupus. aku mmg kagum giler time tgk tattoo2 traditional ni beb. n aku plan, if ader masa lg aku nk g lg ke sarawak, this time around aku nk shoot tribal tattoo from other tribes plak. :) cheerrsss!
