The Associate Director of the Museum start off the presentation by talking about the recent accomplishment of the museum. He then introduced the people who responsible to put everything together. He passes the stand to the person in charge of putting the this together. She then said thanks to everyone involved in the process, and talk briefly about Dr. Lars Krutak adventure. Dr. Lars Krutak is a Researcher Associate in Department of Anthropology from National Museum of Natural history Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C. The first thing that Dr. Lars Krutak said is a definition of tattoo. The reason that Dr. Lars Krutak become a tattoo expert is by accident. During the Graduate school, he doesn’t know what to research about for his research
The video is hard to watch. He then move on talking about other tribal in Philippines. The tribal in Philippines are known for the being a head hunter. He show us the video of a headhunter getting a tattoo. He earn that tattoo because he kill someone to protect the village. That headhunter are probably the last headhunter to get a tattoo, because the only tattooist in the village is old and didn’t have any successor. The headhunter tattoo is not finish and he probably will not continue to get the tattoo because it hurt really bad. He then move on to Thai Land and observe the monk getting the tattoo. According to the monk the tattoo help them to be bullet and knives proof. He then show a video of the monk giving a tattoo to the non-monk people. This is where he end the presentation, he then gave the credit to the people who involve in the documentary film. He then start answer the question from the audience. One question I remember very clearly is the young lady asking him of how many tattoo does he have. I can’t really remember of the exact number but he did show us the tattoo he got during the making of the documentary
