Omg! I feel it’s important to note that these are traditional slavic tattoos (ethnically Croatian and more specifically, Yugoslavian) that were mostly worn by Catholic girls as a way to avoid assault, forced marriage, and conversion from Ottoman soldiers. The style is called “Sicanje”!

These markings aren’t just aesthetic, they’re a symbol of resistance and survival.
