FULL HAND TATTOO IN THE AMAZON JUNGLE? | ADVENTURE TRAVEL STORIES | PERU

This is the first episode of a new series here on Kick the Grind. It's going to be called travel stories, and I'll be explaining some of the wild adventures behind the videos you see here.

This was all filmed in and around Leticia, Colombia. This part of the country is right on the border between Brazil, and Peru. Here many people take river cruises to the Peruvian Amazon, or wander off into the depths of Brazilian amazon in search for a Shaman.

Kicking it off, is answering the number 1 question I had after posting the amazon jungle adventure challenge videos, and then the experience finding a shaman in the Brazilian rainforest.

In this video I explain a bit more of what happened in the forests of South America, and also explain our encounter with Huito, a seed that creates a blue pigment when mixed with water. It's also called Jagua Tattooing when you use this deep colour to stain your hair, skin, hands, etc. We encountered this strange plant many times while doing our river cruise, and began to apply it shortly after fishing for piranhas. When your Jagua Tattoo is first applied it looks clear. Fast forward a day later, and it looks like you have crazy full hand tattoos.

We also were painted with Annatto, also known as Achiote or Colorau. It's an orange pigment from the seed of a tree. These seeds produce a bright orange paste that is used to paint ornamental markings on the skin. It is also used as a food colorant in many dishes (and processed foods) around the world.

If you want make it on the hand, just like the video, leave me a nice comment, and end it with the motto "Experiences over Possessions"
