History
This tradition of bone tattoos has been recorded during before the conquest wars and some of the "Tribe Fathers" such as Zhedakar, Jhedakar, Zhedamael and Fhedamael. They have been used to in the past to represent one who has grown into adulthood or if one is married or when one has achieved a status/title in their society.
Execution
A Yosakm bone tattooer would have the recipient sit upon a chair or sit on the ground and stay there while the Yosakm tattooer would use what they call a "bone scarer" to make holes in the bone (similar to what samoans, taino or other islander tattoos would have been done like).
Components and tools
Bone Scarer and a file to smoothen the bone from being rigid. sometimes ink or a metal like gold is put into the crevice where the tattoo was put in. And gold plates/Rings to put on the plate on the beginning of the tattoo and a gold ring at the end of the tattoo which would around the end of the horns.
Participants
A Yosakm bone tattooer and an Angellonian who receives the tattoo.
Observance
depending on the tribe, some would earn these by combat, some to show a graduation of scholarship, to show their status/hierarchy in society, while a few who are prophets would be given the prophets pattern on their horns and tusks and some would get a symbol to show they are married or in search of a partner.
