The Berbers (aka Amazighs) are known as a mysterious tribe with many rituals. One such ritual is the facial tattoos that the women of the tribe get whenever they come of age or reach certain milestones. Every single motif is applied only as protection and bestowing power onto the receiver. Magical powers are also attributed to jewellry, which enhances its emotional value. via Wiki

We find the Berbers in Algeria (9-13 million), Libya (nearly 4 million), Morocco (10-12 million). Lesser numbers of Berbers are found in Tunisia, Egypt, and the US.
