Good on him for educating people, just a misunderstanding. I love that light skin Maori, learn and embrace the culture and history from their ancestors lands like anyone else, it’s his blood and culture. We should be proud. I hope more Kooris, Murris, Palawa, Nunga, Noongars and other mobs here in Australia don’t lose their roots to this country and continue to listen, learn and maintain culture while sharing with the rest of our nation. We’re all here now so we gotta work together.

At least the silver lining is that this will spread awareness. I was refused entrance to a night club, once, because of my tattoos. Sometimes the bouncers or staff are just dicks.

@@Kylow0 I don't have tattoos, nor would I get one. But at least I know why they put them on their face, and it's not about pros or cons. It's completely to do with the culture... something you know nothing about obviously

Shit happens. If i tattooed pix of my family or something else i held in my heart on my face, id expect to be turned away from a few high end places now & then too. Escpecially in another country. Cant cry over that. Theyve got a business to run & an image to uphold. Their choice who they let in

Here on the East coast of NZ there were a good few Irish & Hispanic / Spanish early settlers who married locals & had families. A lot of cool people, as Kool Mo Cee says - skin pigment means nothing, all historically mixed races have throwbacks, I work for a coast family who have strong Spanish bloodlines, the children all have very Hispanic features & the father is Pakeha azz. Its a happy place!

Far out this comments section is a disgrace to nz

It's just a policy that's being introduced into australian bars & clubs. I myself being australian get refused entry into venues because of neck tattoos. They think anyone with lots of tattoos is a bikie, which is bullshit. So it's not a understanding of the Maori culture it's a rule for everyone that has tattoos from the neck up. Not much we can do, I wouldn't want to give them my business anyway if they treat people like that.

A bit frustrating because they had a booking. A million food places so who cares, but it would be nice to know in advance. I have tattoos. I can cover them up, and do for work, but I don't want to do that when I am enjoying my free time. I wouldn't care if a restaurant didn't want me eating there, but please put that on the website and mention it at booking, so that I have the opportunity to book some place else.

Maoris have things like that done because they used to be cannibals.

Normal people know these things and won't get anything like that done, even if they would secretly like to. For a man whose ancestors were eating other humans only a couple of hundred years ago, it's an entirely different story. He thinks it's cool.

@@paulmorgan4369 normal? Dude, I know plenty of people with tattooed faces who have good jobs, it's not the 1950s anymore. Just because someone is tattooed doesn't make them automatically a violent psychopath. And your whole kōrero about "normal people" is, honestly, just weird. You ever met someone with a tattoo on their hands, neck or face and actually spoken to them? Again, I think you're really reaching to validate your comments on cannibalism being relevant. As far as you saying he thinks he's cool, that's incredibly reductive and smacks of condescension. Right now, we Maori are trying to reclaim something that was nearly lost to us in traditional tattooing among many, many other things. Is it really that offensive to you? Comments about him moaning about not getting let into restaurant in Australia aside. Why would they give a shit over there? I get it, a little silly.

No one can expect to be accepted outside their homes with their cultural heritage. Especially businesses, no respect for cultural diversity in it, unless it's good for business.

I think it more comes down to the dress code policy. For example if you came in with hair that looked like it hadn't been washed in years it would be the exact same situation, they're not going to state "clean hair" on their dress code. It just comes down to if they make exceptions for one person they will have to make exceptions for everyone including gang members with full face tattoos.
