    I really like the tatoo on the chin. Does someone know the meaning of this tatoo? Thanks!!

    The rows of dots divided by a line represents the palm tree and therefore fertility

    love that photo too. Thanks for the explanation of the tattoo. I have been quite a while in the Draa valley, but unfortunately too long ago... (before my Mali experience). I wish I could remember if I had seen tattoos like this.. should go again, I suppose...

    Less and less of the traditionally  tattooed ladies are seen now .
