A. Damn savages, deserved what they got, civilization at the end of a rifle.
Who can get a Maori tattoo?
Q. I want to get a Maori tattoo on my shoulder because I love the designs and they seem to have a good meaning from what I've read. Just not sure if its something only certain people are allowed to get because I'm certainly not Maori. Thanks.
A. You can get a Maori tattoo :) My mate got himself a tatt on his calf muscle and he's not Maori either.
Some Maori tattooists use a different style of tamoko for those who are not Maori. It looks Maori but in detail - the designs are slightly different, more contemporary, in contrast with the more traditional designs where a blessing is needed.
Most Maori aim to gain the blessing of their kaumatua (elders of the tribe) before they get their tattoo's done. Also, we must have a or special meanings in which the design of our tamoko represents. Only specific Maori patterns are used in the design to represent either our families, ancestors, culture... We don't just get one because it looks cool and we feel like getting one.
It is sacred to get a Maori facial tattoo however, unless you are fully blessed by the kaumatua and that you deserve to represent a Moko (Facial Tattoo). Only certain Maori woman (especially elderly) are blessed with a Maori moko on their chin.
