Finally posting my initiation ritual about teeth chiseling. Women in a small Indonesian tribe have their teeth chiseled into sharp shark like teeth because the believe it helps make them beautiful. Being beautiful is important to this tribe because it is believed that the soul will leave the body if it is unhappy with the body it is in.
For more information here is the National Geographic documentary on teeth chiseling.
