In East Greenland the tattoo tradition has been alive
even untill today. The woman at the left was photographed in Ammassalik in 1906, And is tattooed on both arms and across the breasts. The same kind of designs are used on these legs. |
| In these tattoos a poking technique has been used, and not the usual Inuit sewing technique. | |
