.. A brief introduction to the Maori tattoo ...
were saying: Koru (fern from New Zealand) as a starting point.
At this point, according to tradition, two forms of tattoo moko and KIRITUHI . The first
reserved for descendants of Maori blood, the second a modern interpretation of the tattoo, however, takes its cue from the spiral shape of the koru . The
moko, was obviously done on your face! Apparently all
equal, but hid their family ties and the offsprings of the wearer. A sort of ID card ..
The moko, was done in a very painful, with a hammer pounding on a needle, often derived from a bone pointed. Just to make the 'idea, the photo on the left ..
For years the tradition of the tattoo of 'peaceful area was carried out according to this great tradition ..
And while I imagine the friendly comments of those who invite me to do with a face ... to decorate or cover me more:-D!
