Nose Plugs


The Apatani tribe lives in the district of Arunachal Pradesh, India. The tribe keeps no written records, but they do have an exceptionally unique way of identifying their women. Traditionally women get face tattoos and distinctive nose plugs at an early age which they wear for the remainder of their life. According to some anthropologists, this practice was created in order to make the women unattractive to neighboring tribes who might otherwise want to kidnap their super hot women.


Although this practice has been around for hundreds of years, it is very quickly losing popularity. Not many women who were born in the 80s and beyond have chosen to get nose plugs, so as the older women of the tribe pass away, so will the tradition.
