Tribal clothing and tattoos around the world. Natural materials

Tribal outfits are among the oldest styles of clothes existing. In some countries around the planet, they’re long forgotten, but in others, they’re still in use by the local people. Such garments and accessories are practically always made from natural materials, like it was typical centuries ago – grass, shells, feathers, local plant fibers, wood, bone, etc. And often, tribal clothing is accompanied by symbolic tribal tattoos. Even when they have few clothes on, these people know how to adorn themselves and how to honor the memory of their ancestors.
