It exists before Japanese Colonial era in taiwan, no one knows the exactly time.

3.Facial tattoos among Taiwan, aboriginal tribes are thought to date back 1400. Is there any rules before get tattoo and whats the situation now in this modern world?

The man who is succeed in head hunting and woman who is good at weaving got the right to tattooing special patterns on their chest, hands, feet and forehead as their glory.

Fornication is a taboo in Atayal, anyone who has fornication will be punish by utux and involved other people.

Young Atayal who has immoral behavior, will be punish by utus when they are getting facial tattooing, and their wound can't be heal, or their tattoo will be fade.That's why the tattoo artist of this area always ask the question before they tattooing.If someone did immoral things, he has to admit his guilty to utux first, and the price of facial tattooing would be double.If an Atayal girl got a beautiful facail tattooing, it means she's virtuous.

Anyway, every people of this area must follow the rules of utux before they get facial tattooing, without immoral behaviors, then the utux will protect them.
