"The Meaning of Thao Tattoo Pattern (泰雅紋面)"
Tattoo patterns, known as "紋面" (Wen Mian) in the Atayal culture, serve not only as decorative elements but also as symbols of various virtues and roles within the community. For women, these patterns represent skill in weaving, household management, and wisdom, often displayed on the forehead and cheeks. For men, they signify prowess in hunting, defending the family and the nation, and the ability to stand bravely on their own, typically appearing on the forehead and chin. These patterns are a testament to adherence to Thao tribal norms and are a recognized symbol among tribal members. They mark adulthood, marriage eligibility, and are crucial in the process of ancestral recognition through the Rainbow Bridge. In essence, tattoo patterns are the highest honor and emblem of the Thao indigenous culture.
