New Zealand

Explanation:

The "Maori" are indigenous people hailing from New Zealand. One of their traditions is receiving tattoos on different parts of their body in order to signal progression from childhood to adulthood. It also meant having a higher status in life and a means to become more attractive to the female counterpart. Men receive tattoos on their faces and these are called "Ta moko." They also receive tattoos on their buttocks and thighs. Women, on the other hand, receive their own set of tattoos, specifically on their lips and chins.
