"Aso" dragon dog motif in Kayanic Women's Leg tattoo

In Borneo, tribemen would often receive tattoos in honor of what they have done, specifically achievement in headhunting and war. They would ink an stylized eye of the ASO ( the mythical dog or dragon associated with protection from evil spirits.

Interestingly, women combined aso with other tattoo forms to repel evil and to induce fertility.

Indonesian Rainforest and Orang Utans

Though I'd share this..

Orang Utans, one reason why Indonesian Rainforest is so spectacular and under appreciated.  Also shows the ugly side of Palm oil plantations and it's vast destruction of their habitat, the the Sumatran and Borneo Rainforest.
