Masai tribe, Kenya


In the Masai tribe, both men and women stretch their ears and they’re often decorated with beautiful bead work, matching that of their cartilage piercing. One documented way to stretch the earlobe is by using weight, the other is to insert things like tusk, wood and stone, gradually increasing the size of the item. It is most common for the elder members to have the largest piercings as they have been through the most stretching.
