In Sendang Biru, close to Pulau Sempu, local tattoo-artists do their job along the beach. It's very interesting because of the special Javanese designs they create. Included patrons of meanders, cashmeres, nagas, and other ornamentations you see at the famous Hindu-Javanese temples. It is like a ritual how concentrated these guys the symbolic patterns tattoo.

The Javanese (and other Indonesians) love tattoos though, it is very popular like in the Western World. Although I doubt whether they care about sterility and other infection-problems ...
