How people would react to tattoos being done to themselves or others around them because of their culture.

There is a big difference between people who have been exposed to tattoos and people who haven't. Tattoos have been a part of people's lives for decades and even centuries. To most people living in the United States, tattoos are a normal style.

If God didn't give the mark then how on earth did it get there? If someone in the Tekywan tribe received a tattoo, how would they react?

On the other hand, tribes who weren't immune to begin with, never will be immune to making permanent marks on their body, which is considered a sacred temple.
