Each design is unique and personalised, created exclusively for the wearer.

Instead of piercing the skin as in modern tattooing, these instruments cut the skin and vegetable ink was introduced into the wounds. The result was a tattoo with reliefs in the skin, giving it a unique texture.<\/p><p>This process was extremely painful and required great physical and spiritual endurance. It was often accompanied by rituals and sacred chants.<\/p><h6><strong>At present:<\/strong><\/h6><p>Today, many Maori tattoos are done with modern tattoo machines, but some traditional artists still use ancient methods. The process includes:<\/p><ol><li>In-depth consultation with the tattooist about the client's life history.<\/li><li>Creation of a personalised design with spiritual and symbolic meaning.<\/li><li>Tattooing with needles and inks, following fluid and harmonic patterns that adapt to the body.<\/li><\/ol><h5><strong>Colours used<\/strong><\/h5><p>Traditionally, Maori tattoos were done in black ink, made from vegetable soot mixed with grease. To this day, black is still the most widely used and respected colour in the Maori style. It is not common to see colours in the <em>ta moko<\/em> traditional, although some contemporary artists experiment with blues, reds or dark greens to highlight details.<\/p><p>If you are considering
