Maori Tattoos in Madrid

Meaning of Maori tattoos: Maori tattoos are more than just aesthetic adornments; they are living expressions of Maori identity and culture. Each moko tells a unique story about the wearer, their heritage, social status and life experiences. The symmetrical patterns and powerful lines carry specific meanings that are only fully understood within the Maori community.

History of Maori tattoos: The tradition of Maori tattoos goes back a long way and has deep historical roots. Originally, mokos were engraved with traditional chisel tools, which was a painful but respectful process. Today, modern tattooing equipment is used, but the preservation of tradition and meaning remains central.
