Basically, it seems that this sort of tattooing is a pre christian that is an old Slavic tradition, there are historical documents (ancient Roman and German) that describe Slavs as having such tattoos. The reason why it stayed alive among Croats is as I explained a form of protection again enslavement but also in the documentary the woman say that traditionally it was used as a protection against the right of first wedding night practiced by the Ottomans. Supposedly, such tattoos helped women to be left alone. <br /><br />The reasons why it remained practiced is probably because of traditional and identity causes. the woman in the videos said they do it because they like it, but I guess it is a way of keeping identity as well. Interesting thing in documentary is that they link the tattoos which folklore clothes (there is similarity in the motifs)...and as they say, the symbol of cross existed in old Slavic times but with the arrival of Christianity it got a new dimension and different meaning....most of these tattoos are variants of the cross symbols...very interesting subject! did the clothes influence tattoos or was it the other way around? who knows for sure?Ivana Splithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908566377732204399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-662424497522531210.post-54365423010198038432015-06-01T10:50:28.724+05:302015-06-01T10:50:28.724+05:30Hello Lovely!

I'm not a fan of all black either, at least not for myself, it doesn't go well with my skin tone so I always try to have bright accessories or wear scarves.. I really like how you added that crochet top to you black dress and the hat is so chic.<br /><br />It seems I was mistaken when I told you that the traditional form of tattooing was not kept anymore. I was told that it still exist but I thought such cases are rare. However, quick you-tube researched revealed that Croatian woman, especially in the region of Bosnia still practice this technique and it is even the young still do it so it cannot be said that the tradition is lost. you can see more here....<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAZHN40rm30Ivana Splithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908566377732204399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-662424497522531210.post-44218773368038014332015-05-31T13:31:06.667+05:302015-05-31T13:31:06.667+05:30Ps.
