Re: Tattoos
To moderators.<br />Did my reply get zapped because of the word I used, or did I accidentally post it to another topic.<br />I am not worried if it did get zapped. <br />But that is what those tattoos are actually called. <br />It is not looked apon as an offensive term, and everybody understands it.<br />They are done with what looks like a minature garden rake that is tapped with a type of hammer. (that's a pretty crude way of explaining it actually).<br />They start at the waist and go to just above the knees and are really intricate, and they look brilliant. <br />When people see them for the first time they are literally speechless. It's absolutely amazing.<br />The Moari ones are great too, especially the part and full face tats. <br />You got to have a lot of bottle to have one of those.<br />Where I came from, as a kid, the old women all had mokos tats on the chin, and they were ausome too. I use to sit on the foot path in Tamuranui among them and be mesmerised by their tats.<br />Cheers<br />Phillip
