Maori tattoos are called "ta moko," which are traditional tattoos that contain designs specific to Maori culture and represent a person's identity, ancestry, and achievements. Each ta moko design is unique to the individual it adorns.
The Maori people are natives of New Zealand. Ta Moko or Maori tatooing, is becoming more popular as people become aware of it. There are several websites where one can find images of Ta Moko on websites such as Zealand Tattoo, Popular Top Tattoos, Tattoo Me Now as well as Tumblr and Photo Bucket.
"Maori Tattoos and Non-MaorisBy using a moko pattern for your own tattoo design, you may be insulting the Maori people. It is never ok for a non-maori to wear a Maori tattoo pattern, even if it is done with respect. Maori tattoo patterns and symbols are a way of personal identification for the Maori people. By copying their designs you steal a part of their identity, what the Maori see as an insult.If you want a tattoo design in the Maori style, find a tattoo artist that has experience with Maori tattoos and knows about these issues. He can design a tattoo for you that has the looks of a moko without the Maori symbolic ties."Have a look at http://www.storm3d.com.This designer is specialized in Maori / Kirituhi style designs and does custom pieces, and has high resolution designs for sale on his website.From the web page: http://www.freetattoodesigns.org/maori-tattoos.htmlTHAT being mentioned.... check here... http://www.maori-arts.com/tikitat/index.htm
