I'm a NZ/Aussie mix, half an half, no Maori bloodlines in our fans tho.. I love the idea of the moko and was wondering if there are any versions us non Maori folks are able to wear without disrespecting the culture.. I'm already tatted up heavily and would love one of these designs

From what I’ve been told by Māori folks, it is only moko if it is on a Māori and should be done by a Māori person. There are tattoos that use Māori style and some patterns that aren’t particularly exclusive called kirituhi but those seem to be debated on if they’re still appropriate for totally non Māori people to wear. I’d suggest researching kirituhi and talking to some artists that do it!

Find a moko artist and a meaning and you’ll find the path to your own unique moko, your are not aloud are traditions such as moko and puhoro but if you embrace our culture you’ll most likely be able to get a small tamoko done from the right person, I have a friend who is from Eastern Europe and he was gifted a full sleeve moko for his 20 birthday

Just found this after my son asked if I'd get a face tattoo and I told him my moko would be the only thing I'd get done on my face and he asked what it is so I showed him this video

Cool

As an Englishman, I love the tā moko!

I have a Cambodian friend that I work with who lost his best friend who was Maori, to suicide..He got a Ta moko sleeve done in memory of his best friend. Alot of Maori work at the job I'm at and not one of them has ever frowned upon him or descriminated against him because of the fact that he is not Maori but has a Ta moko. They know he respects the culture and his Ta moko has true meaning..Respect the culture and make sure that your Ta moko has meaning and you'll be fine 👍

pakeha people are European so are not classified as Māori people, Tāmoko are only for Māori people however you can get a Kirituhi which are just art that don’t have a proper meaning nor have to be Māori for it.

Oscar Cruz an understanding of our culture, and maybe marry someone who is Maori if you really want to go that far hahaha you won’t be Maori but your children will be, and you may become lucky enough to find an artist who will let you wear ta moko That being said, Ta moko doesn’t make you Maori either; we are a race of people, who choose whether or not to express ourselves through this unique art form of ours

Btw, pakeha are not Maori. The word refers to European settlers and their descendants who colonised our country around the 18th/19th century. It used to be derogatory and still can be, but for those who understand where the word comes from, it isn’t

Uepohatu Te Kira it isn’t in their whakapapa, but I don’t mind seeing our art form shared. Most of what I’ve seen given to non-Maori aren’t traditional anyway and I’m fine with that. However, I wouldn’t like to see someone who isn’t Maori being given moko kauae, mataora, puhoro, or other traditional designs, etc. and furthermore, I think it’s worse to me when a lot of our people who end up getting modern ta moko don’t even know what their design means or they could point out one or two things and not understand the rest of the it.

@Taylor-io4hc

4 жыл бұрын

Uepohatu Te Kira No, you don’t need to be adept at anything, for instance, whanau who have little to no knowledge of our culture will reach out through moko to reconnect with their whakapapa and tikanga that they were not privy to as a result of colonisation, the great wars, and the systematic discrimination through policy towards our people. It’s arrogant of you to think that there should be distinction amongst our people with regard to who is worthy or not, and that thinking will only lead to our further divide; we have always shared our knowledge and ways amongst our people as is highlighted through the sharing of moteatea and haka - no knowledge or practice is exclusive - that way of thinking is Pakeha. And while we are on the topic, the reason I asked why you think that Pakeha is derogatory, is 1. I actually want to hear your whakaaro so that I might broaden my own, and 2. To share what I have learned in that the whakapapa of that word has nothing to do with “white pig” or whatever mainstream society thinks. It doesn’t even have the kupu for white or pig in it, so....? I’m assuming that that’s why you think it’s derogatory but the word can be interpreted as “breath that comes from another place” referring to the squeaky tone of the corset wearing colonisers with their throaty tones compared to our guttural/diaphragmatic one.

British culture is boring? Big fam we have one of the most documented histories of any people, if you think it's boring you simply aren't studying the right place, time or people. As someone who studies our history a lot, I just don't get this comment. (I'm in no way saying any other cultures are inferior)
