The Mon district of Nagaland is where the Konyak tribe lives. Konyak people are (in)famous for their ancient tradition of headhunting during village raids. Those who successfully hunted heads were given face tattoos to make them look more masculine and scary. The tradition has long been banned since the advent of Christianity in Nagaland, but a last few head hunters from a bygone era still live to tell the tale today.
