Best Answer

A lot of tribes practiced body modification, and the Cherokee were no different. They practiced scarification, early forms of tattoos, stretched their ears, and had piercings. Usually they only had their ears, but in most tribes, septum piercings were commonplace, and I do believe that the Cherokee were no different.
