1.Long Earlobes (Maasai tribes of Kenya)
Many tribes around the world have their traditions, and people of the Western civilization just can’t understand them. Their body modifications are nothing, but their vision of beauty.
Their gender roles are very distinct, but both men and women see beauty as an essential part of their lives. It’s not only about original ornaments, bangles, and beads. They are still following this weird tradition of stretching earlobes. They use different methods of stretching and these facts are documented as well. Sometimes they use weight to elongate their lobes and in other cases they stretch them with larger pieces of tusk, wood, stone, thorn. The oldest tribe members have the largest earlobes. Often, they decorate stretched lobes with brilliant beadwork.
