Taylor White was only 21 when her face was tattooed with obscenities against her will, leaving her with no other option than to cover up the unsightly markings with dark, black ink.
Now, more than a decade later, the Florida resident is finally removing her blackout face tattoo with the help of a generous stranger, Karridy Askenasy, otherwise known as TheDadBot. White, who formerly worked in the body-modification industry and is attempting to transition into the mental health field, said her face tattoo became an obstacle for her to land a job, and she was hurt by the rejection.
“I’ve tried applying for jobs in the mental health care field just as an advocate,” White, who has bipolar 2 disorder, told The Post. “I understand that my appearance is quite different, and could maybe jar someone that has their own condition. When she was a young woman, her face tattoo journey began as thin lines on either side of her face connecting her eyes to her temples. It was “war paint,” she said, which White inked herself during a period of “mania” while working at a tattoo shop in an attempt to prove herself as an artist.

It was/is a very common part of tribal warfare. Even the Russians are accused of it in Ukraine.
It has been a part of warfare for a very long time, longer than recorded history, for certain.
It may have been because nobody knew about Stockholm syndrome then.
A different form was done by the Russians in Germany in 1945. ape of German women was a matter of policy in order to leave a lot of Russian genes in Germany. Plus, of course, the women were regarded as “spoils of war.”
Just curious, from Oatman AX?
I have reaad a number of stories about captives who returned or were recaptured. Many of the men who had been raised since childhood in the tribes went back after a year or so among their civilized brethren. Some of the women were miserable the rest of their lives due to ostracism because they had become wives to usually important men because, as everywhere, white skin, especially in woman was prized or it was assumed by civilized women that they had been sex toys for the Indian men. A couple of them went back but some were prevented by families or did not go back because husbands and/or children had been killed by white Indian fighters. The most famous was Cynthia Ann Parker whose son Quanah became the last war chief or the Comanches and whose husband had been killed n a fight with Texans.
For some of the captive girls who grew up in the tribes, capture was more like kidnapping. They did not want to leave their people who were no longer the civilized white folks. Cynthia Ann Parker had some trouble regaining English when she was recaptured. She did not go back but she lived a miserable life after.
“...but to get your entire face covered like that would take some very heavy sedatives.”
She’s lucky she didn’t wake up with “Welcome Aboard!” tattooed on her penis.
Numbers 31:17-18
"Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves."
This Mary Jemison married a chief, I believe. Throughout the decades, and due to various circumstances, she became a wealthy woman and landowner.
She recalled everything so clearly about her life, and when she was older a man, a doctor, I think, interviewed her and wrote her biography.
(Me ... I can’t remember anything about my life.)
