  so they are also good at risk management, as they’re avoiding cannibals

  Eh, I’d argue it’s actually the exact opposite of good risk management. They’ve spent a lot of time and money mitigating something that’s extremely unlikely to ever pose a problem. They should take a step back and reevaluate that risk matrix, maybe get a second opinion on it too.

      Christians are cannibals (they have a ritual), that’s why they don’t like tattoos.

    Becoming long pork is as valid reason as any I suppose hah

    serious answer

    I think a lot of it was for identification of bodies if they are otherwise disfigured in death :3… as well as other things like superstition, or marking important achievements ^^

      Also they liked to share stuff with the local people, I think getting a tattow was also a big part of that.

        I assumed at first it was a typo, but you’ve done it twice now. What’s a tattow?
