I've been fortunate enough to stumble on a YouTube video going around on the internet with beautiful images of the Omo people. They are a group of tribes in the Omo Valley of Ethopia. They use their bodies as canvases and their amazing body art is totally spontaneous and for their own pleasure!
Hans Silvester created a book featuring photos of the Omo people. Natural Fashion: Tribal Decoration from Africa. Very inspiring! I hope you enjoy their art as much as I do.
