About Jens Uwe Parkitny

I am German, living in Myanmar. My wife is from Myanmar and we have two children. My main photographic work focus has been portraits of Chin women with facial tattoos, living in remote areas of Western Myanmar. Many of the tattoo patterns have never been documented and the exact meaning of the symbolism remains unknown.
