Borneo Tattooing Today
Many of the designs no longer exist. In the 1950s and 1960s many people in Borneo converted to Christianity and a lot of the traditional tattooing stopped. The tattooing and designs almost died away.

This caused a lot of the younger people to look back and now many of them are getting these traditional tattoos done again.
