Moko, the art of facial tattooing, was used by the Maori for identification as well as beautification. A moko artist was considered to be far more than a craftsman. He was more like a priest. they used sharp bones to Peirce the skin, the ritual was painful to receive and could only be tolerated at such short segments of time. Some Moko were so elaborate the took years to complete. i have no idea what is means exactly but what i told you was all i knew... hope this answer helps.
