Elbi Joseph‎I am a descendant of a survivor of the Armenian Genocide! 17 hrs · Edited · Grandma's Tattoos

This was actually a tattoo of the Armenian women who were taken by Turks and tattooed as marks . Indicates that she was owned by someone as a forced wife during the years of Armenian genocide . This is something I personally didn't know. "Grandma's tattoos"

  Carol Merguerian Kalolekas She always told me stories about her family parents and brothers and sisters being stoned to death in front of her. She went through horrible times, no one should ever go through.

  Joan McClendon OH Yes! Sometimes they tatted on the fingers, toes, hands, and on the check if they were especially fond of them, they would tat a cross on the left check. My grandma had one.
