My Iban Tribal Tattoo 1
Iban tattos are always done in black ink. There is a huge variety of motifs. In the longhouses of Sarawak I met elderly people whose skin was almost covered in charcoal coloured tatoos. I had wanted to get a tat for a long time, and Sarawak felt like the ideal place to do that.
Ernesto has run the Borneo Headhunters studio for over ten years. He uses modern sterilising equipment and offers a choice between machine tatooing and traditional bamboo tools. Surprisingly, he says that the traditional method is the least painful.
These pictures tell the story of how I got my souvenir of Borneo. (Scroll down for picture #2 and following.)
In Kuching you can get your own tatoo at
