Beautiful Tattoo

Beautiful Tattoo

One of the most elaborate and intricate type of tattoo designs is the Maori tattoo designs. The Maori tattoos involve a lot of lines drawn in an effect to create a fabulous spread of designs that are attractive to look at. If you are wearing a Maori tattoo design then you must be used to people staring at your shoulder or back to comprehend the tattoo design that is complex. It attracts a lot of attention and mostly if the tattoo wearer has a broad shoulder with a Maori tattoo design on it, then it would enviably get head turns every now and then.


The Maori tattoos are considered to be sacred in New Zealand and originated from East Polynesia. The Maori tattoos are unique and one can never confuse it with any other type of tattoos from Polynesia. These tattoos are mostly made with a personal touch to the wearer. Mostly made up of lines and spiral shapes, the Maori tattoos are called ta moko in the Maori language. These are inspired from the “Koru” shape. Koru or the New Zeland fern is curved at the tip and when it opens, it unfolds into a leaf. So it has symbolic meaning attached to it that the tattoos mean a new life with youth and strength blended to it.
