    Tattoos also apparently taste bad, so they are also good at risk management, as they’re avoiding cannibals

      Eh, I’d argue it’s actually the exact opposite of good risk management. They’ve spent a lot of time and money mitigating something that’s extremely unlikely to ever pose a problem. They should take a step back and reevaluate that risk matrix, maybe get a second opinion on it too.

        Avoiding becoming long pork is as valid reason as any I suppose hah

        I think a lot of it was for identification of bodies if they are otherwise disfigured in death :3… as well as other things like superstition, or marking important achievements ^^

          Also they liked to share stuff with the local people, I think getting a tattow was also a big part of that.

            I assumed at first it was a typo, but you’ve done it twice now. What’s a tattow?
