Maori bodyart was referred to as 'Ta Moko'. In fact, traditionally, Maori tattoos are not inked, but chiseled into the people's skin. Women would have the tattoos on the lips, nose, and chin. Men can have tattoos all over the face, sometimes practically covering up their whole faces! Other men would even have full body tattoos.

Maori tattoo designs eventually became a forgotten and extinct art, although it has been revived in the 20th and 21st century. Now, these tattoos can be seen on the arms, legs, chests and backs. It has actually gained a pretty decent fan base dedicated on Maori or Ta Moko. Maori tattoos not only look beautiful but they signify beauty, respect and worth of a person. If you want a creative, exotic and symbolic tattoo, you should opt for Maori designs.

That seems to be the dilemma, because the web is filled with so much generic art. There is an easy way to find the quality stuff, though, which I will share with you.
