This ancient tattoo practice gives Inuit women a feeling of strength
Kakiniit is an ancient Inuit tattooing practice that was nearly lost when the Catholic Church banned it a century ago. But it's seeing a resurgence among Inuit women.

In this reel, I’m sharing the meaning behind my traditional Inuit tattoos—markings that carry deep cultural, spiritual, and ancestral significance.
