Photograph of an Inupiaq woman in Nome, Alaska, in 1903

The tavluġun is an Indigenous Iñupiaq chin tattoo worn by women.[1][2][3]

Women received tavlugun after puberty when they were of an age to be married and demonstrated their inner strength and tolerance for pain.[1]

Marjorie Tahbone (Inupiaq/Kiowa) is a tattoo artist dedicated to reviving customary Alaska Native tattoos such as tavlugun. She learned the Inupiaq techniques of tattooing and tattoo others.[1]
