Tajena's hands 🤲

~

I decided to give Tajena tattoos like Catholic women did in Bosnia and Herzegovina. As it's stated in the article: This tradition originates from the places once occupied by the Turks and its purpose was to prevent young, Catholic women being kidnapped and converted to Islam. Tattooing symbols on the hand however dates even further back than that period.

I like to imagine, women tattooed to keep some demons or evil spirits away. Tajena will also have her chest tattooed.

Also big important change: I will spell all the names and words that originate from my country or Old Slavic faith in their native form.
