NUUK - Andu Schiodt Pikilak has dark dashes on her forehead descending into a deep "V" like geese flying in formation, an Inuit tattoo she sees as a rebirth for both her and Greenlandic culture.

As a young girl growing up in the Atlas mountains, Hannou Mouloud's family took her to have her chin tattooed with the cherished lines that generations of Moroccan Amazigh tribeswomen wore.

The tradition of facial tattoos among Moroccan Amazigh women, once a symbol of beauty and identity, is fading due to evolving religious interpretations.
