About this title

Synopsis

Māori Tā Moko Tattoos is a guide for anyone who wants to understand Māori tattooing as a real cultural practice, not just a “tribal pattern” from the internet. It blends clear history with practical advice so you know what tā moko is, what it is not, and how Māori-inspired tattoo art can be approached with respect.

In this book you will find

• A short overview of Māori history, society, and the place of tā moko in community life
• Simple explanations of facial and body zones, key line types, spirals, and what they can represent
• Ideas for composition, placement, and flow in tā moko and Māori-inspired kirituhi
• Respect guidelines that explain why full facial moko and kauae are not for outsiders, and how to avoid misuse of Māori designs

Whether you are a tattoo artist, a collector, or simply a reader interested in indigenous art, this book gives you enough knowledge to look at tā moko with more understanding and to approach Māori-inspired tattoos with clarity, care, and respect.
