A lot of modern tattoo artists and tattoo enthusiasts searching to for tattoo art will often page through or browse through traditional tribal tattoos with the hope of coming up with their own designs. This can be seen as originality or artistic flair when looking at other non traditional tattoos but should be avoided when looking at Maori Tattoo Art.

If you are serious on getting a traditional maori tattoo designs and this is what you have set your heart on then it would and should be nice for you to learn about the lingo that goes with Maori Tattoo ArtJust like in every field on life there are terms associated with the way people do things, so it is with  Maori Tattoo Art. Whakapapa is the maori family groups that is associated and forms part of the ta moko family identification

The reason it is important for maoris to know their family history is important especially when they were waring amongst each other over the centuries on and before their arrival of the shores of new zealand

These maori tattoos are still used by certain maori chiefs to recall their history and ancestory There are some leaders of maoris that are still alive today that would be able to look at certain designs and tell you who or from which tribe these tattoo`s belong too Some of these tattoos go back 2000 years, yes that right all through just looking at the design and finishing of the tattoo they will be able to tell certain maoris families origins. What most people don't realise when looking at a design is that they tell a story, though they look like a swirl or twirl to us, they actually tell a full story when you know how to read these tattoos.

Alright we have dealt with the "TA" of the "TAMOKO" but what about the "MOKO" well the moko has got to do with the actual carving or inking of the skin when it comes to the traditional maori tattoo designs
