Tai-an Rural Town ship, where most of the old Atayal with facial tattoos live, began to grow rapidly in reputation. Many an old Atayal with facial tattoos was put on display for the outside world, and they were often invited to attend activities in many different places. For example, in the latter half of November, a dozen of them were invited to Taipei to take part in an indigenous people's event.
自此，「黥面國寶」最多之處泰安鄉的名號大為響亮，不少「黥面國寶」因此「面世」，經常被請到各地參加活動，例如去年十一月下旬，十數名黥面國寶就被邀請來台北參加原住民活動。
