Additional Details:
The Faces of Men and women alike are frequently tatooed among the Apache. The center of the forehead and the chin are most frequently covered with geometrical designs of a dark blue color, occasionally a design upon the forehead is produced downward to the end of the nose. Formerly the men's dress consisted of a loin cloth and buckskin moccasins, the moccasins having a hard sole and curved upward above the toe for protection against thorns and cacti. The better moccasins have long uppers reaching to the thighs.
