The Apatani, also known as the Tanni, are a tribal group of approximately 26,000, based in in Ziro, in the Apatani Plateau of Arunachal Pradesh, in India. Their most notably are know for the massive nose plugs worn by their woman. Tradition holds that the Apatani women were considered the most beautiful in the land, resulting in the Apatanis constantly being raided by other tribes and their women kidnapped. In order to make themselves less attractive to other tribes, the Apatani women began wearing massive nose plugs and tattooing their faces.
