I read that Ainu women tattooed their lips to resemble a beard, which was seen as aesthetically pleasing. But the tattoo was also supposed to keep evil spirits from entering the body. The markings on the hands also served a similar purpose. They would add more and more tattoos on the arms and lips as they grew older. http://ohmaipie.tumblr.com/post/95488080370/i-read-that-ainu-women-tattooed-their-lips-to Ainu Tattoo, Unison League, Ainu People, Culture Shock, Face Tattoos, Eastern Art, Art Fanart, Nice Art, Character Reference
