Tattoo anthropologist Lars Krutak visits the Kaningara tribe, near the Sepik River, and takes part in a long initiation process to receive their crocodile scars. Well worth your time - lots of great footage of the arts and carvings of that area. http://vimeo.com/11176179 Lars has a pretty good website too - the following is a link to his article on tattooing in Polynesia http://www.larskrutak.com/articles/south_seas/index.html Vern
