The intro is fine as is, but seems a bit sparse, even when considering this is a short article. Maybe we could lengthen it a bit, perhaps some info on Tekena's background.
In the intro you talk about Tekena's background not being kingly, but then in the first section there is mention of his clan being "associated with the native kingship"
Maybe you could link to the traditional tattooing methods mentioned>

All in all a very solid, comprehensive article on a pretty fascinating topic. Should be a quick fix and then a pass. QatarStarsLeague (talk) 06:02, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
