@assaultandbattery: As body modification is my special interest, I felt I needed to bring light to a practice of my ethnic culture which had slowly diminished over the course of the past century. I know this isn’t the traditional way to do it but I am going for the look instead of the permanence. I used tooth paint for stage makeup btw. The practice of nhuộm răng or ohaguro, meaning teeth blackening, has had a long history in various Asian cultures, particularly in Japan, Southeast Asia, and parts of China. Originating over 1,000 years ago, it was a practice associated with beauty, social status, and cultural identity. In Japan, it symbolized maturity and marital commitment, as married women and samurai often blackened their teeth using a mixture of iron filings, vinegar, and other ingredients. In Southeast Asia, it served as a protective measure against tooth decay and spirits, while also enhancing aesthetic contrast with pale skin. Over time, the practice declined due to modernization and Western influences, but it remains a fascinating reflection of historical cultural values.

i’ve always wondered how long the teeth blackening lasts, like do you have to redo it every once in a while or is it permanent like a tattoo

My grandmother had this. It was permanent. Apparently she didn’t have any cavities into her eighties
