Senegal Women Have Their Gums Tattooed Black To Improve Their Smile: Women in Senegal are their quest for beautiful smiles to extreme levels - by tattooing their gums black. They claim the procedure gives a whiter smile and protects the gums and stops bad breath.
The mixture is a combination of burnt oil and Shea butter pressed into the gums before a needle is repeatedly pricked into it.
Mariéme tells the interviewer: 'It hurts. I would never recommend this torture to anyone.'However, despite the pain she says she is more than happy with the results.
