The Ainu, who were the natives of Japan, had a variety of reasons for ritualistic tribal tattooing. Women would get tattoos in order to resemble goddesses and to scare away demons. These tattoos were located on the woman’s hands, arms, mouth, clitoris, and forehead. A woman who was not properly tattooed when she got married was thought to have sinned and were damned to death.
