Maori Tattooing


Moko (Maori Tattooing)

  Moko is the name of Maori tattooing which is something the Maori men would do when they wanted to get tattoos for different meanings.
The moko's were normally curvy lines with patterns, never crossed the center of the face.
One of the moko designs can go on the left side of the face which is generally the father's ancestry and the right side is for the mother's ancestry. 
I think that I would not want to get a Moko only because it would hurt and I don't really want scars on my face. 


My Ta moko is in the place where the woman get tattooed because I am a female.
My Ta moko means family.
