shit that goes hard, don’t be cringe just post stuff that impresses you from other civilizations

>>17947755 (OP)
Do they have any justification for doing that to themselves?

>>17947755 (OP)
Strangely enough, the people of Sudan and Ethiopia are not the only people to practice Lip Plates, some Native American tribes also did this.

>>17947763
Anymore a justification for any other body modder?
Nose rings, nipple piercings, tongue stud. What are the justifications for those?

My question is how do they eat with those?
From what I understand, they can take those out.

Dunno shit about the Orthodox Church, but these dudes look sick as hell.

it’s mixed results with no definite answer. in current times it’s a thing women choose to do nowadays, it’s given a more personal reason to do it.

it’s kinda like jewelry to them, just flexing on everyone else.
>>17947772
probably just slide food to either side, or eat mushy food. they get the lower teeth removed to make space for the plate

Tourists give them money

Status, it's likely that lip plates started out as very small, and perhaps barely even noticeable, but as the centuries went on they slowly overtime grew in size because humans are competitive retards and larger lip plates ended up coming to refer to people of higher status and that's how we got to where we are now with entire dinner plated being shoved into someones lower jaw. Although countries like Ethiopia have since outlawed the practice IIRC

I was guessing there was a cultural connotation to it.

this coat looks so comfy ngl

>>17947770
They could have a cultural story that says why or something.

it’s cool to see what different cultures value. a good reminder that there’s more than one way to live your life

Europeans value being good and other cultures value being bad. It's pretty simple.

This stuff was taboo and freaky 30 years ago but now every other faggot in a major city in the West looks like that.

That's quite an ironic larp since the Aztecs were actually huge chuds when it came to tattoos, they didn't really like them at all and the only Mesoamericas that did it to a significant degree were the Maya and gulf coast cultures like the Huaxtecs, which the Aztecs considered weirdo sexual degenerates
