My artistic ability is genetic with a thousand year history its only natural that the transition into “moko rangatira”happen I just wish it could’ve been sooner, anyway fellow enthusiasts I dont have anything to date but I’ll be certain to let you know later on k ? ,kia kaha,

    Hoani. :p:p:p:)

    Hi Hoani

    I have been studying up on some Moko techniques in the trad tools – fascinating stuff.
    Welcome to the forum and looking forward to seeing the ink you get.

    Take Care

    Hey Matiu(Mathew in Maori) yeah some pretty cool stuff you will find that different patterns represent different tribes its one way of recognising where the wearer is from and generally speaking the patterns are derived from nature and suit the body area the pattern adorns. Maori understood the human anatomy,have a cool day
