Women from the Li ethnic group show tattoos as they pose in front of a museum in South China’s Hainan Province on Jan. 9, 2018. Speaking between five dialects, Li women traditionally have tattoos on their face, neck, chest, arms and legs to help distinguish between different groups. Recently, improving living standards and cultural mixing have threatend the 3,000-year-old practice, driving it to the verge of extinction. (Photo: China News Service/Luo Yunfei)
