ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Pintados

Pintados are people from a group of islands called the Philippines, who like to decorate their bodies in bright and colorful patterns for special occasions or events. They use natural materials like leaves, flowers, and berries to create the designs on their skin. It's sort of like wearing a temporary tattoo that washes off after a few days.

The designs can be really intricate and unique, depending on the person creating them. They might use different shapes, colors, or patterns to create a meaningful design that represents their culture or beliefs. Pintados are really proud of their body art, and it's considered a special tradition that has been passed down for generations.
