 Maori
facial tattoo |
The MOKO is a traditional maori facial tattoo. Traditionally the lines were engraved into the skin, the designs and patterns dependant on tribal affiliation, whakapapa (lineage), and individual rank. |

Maori tattoos combined with celtic tattoo designs are becoming increasingly popular, a choice of those wanting to express or reflect their mixed heritage - the combination of the two art styles compliment each other. |

Nowadays, the traditional Maori tribe tattooing or ta moko is all but extinct, but Maori tattoos may be making a comeback. Though Maori culture is undergoing a revival, an interruption occurred after the coming of European settlers, during which tattooing lost much of its significance. |

Modern Maori tattoos are usually found on the body rather than the face, and, of course, modern tattooing methods are used – but the traditional ta moko inspired designs have a universal and timeless appeal. |
