Tattooing:
Prominent Cultures: Māori (New Zealand), Samoan, Hawaiian, Marquesan, and other Polynesian groups.
Terminology: Known as "tatau" in Samoa, "moko" in Māori culture, and "kākau" in Hawaiian.
Features: Tattoos are often large and highly intricate, covering significant portions of the body, such as the face, arms, or legs. The designs are unique to each individual, reflecting their genealogy, rank, accomplishments, and personal history.
Cultural Significance: Tattoos are deeply symbolic, marking important life milestones, family lineage, and social status. They represent a connection to ancestors, the spiritual world, and one’s role within the community. The process of tattooing itself is highly ceremonial, often involving prayers and rituals. 10 replies
