Okay the story is like this. Im from Sweden, I went traveling in New Zealand 2009 and fell madly in love with the country. I went back 2010 and stayed for more than a year, I love all about it, the culture, the people, the nature.. even more than my own country. I got some real good friends and I want to go back as soon as Im done with school here.. but i want a memory from that time, and I want to show my love for NZ. So i was thinking about getting a tattoo saying “Aotearoa” which means “the land of the long white cloud” in maori. The original name of NZ. But my question is, is it okay for a me to get this tattoo or will it look weird when I go back to NZ? are people gonna think “why does that swede have Our country name tattooed on her arm” ? Will maoris get offended ? Do u guys know what I mean?

All help appreciated 🙂 Thanks!
