Maori Tattoo



Since the Maori people consider the head to be the most sacred part of the body, the most popular kind of Maori tattoo was the facial tattoo, which was composed of curved shapes and spiral like patterns. Often tattoo that covered the whole face and was a symbol of rank, social status, power and prestige.

Here is a little video on someone getting a tattoo of a Maori design.
