HISTORY AND MEANING

Maori tattoos have a buttock and magical history, linked to the Polynesian populations of New Zealand , where tattooing the body has always been an important ritual that marks the most important moments in the life of every individual, man or woman. 

In fact, in the Maori populations, the first tattoos were made in the transition to adulthood , and later to identify their lineage , their work and their  characteristics  related to physical strength or character.

Maori culture provides for tattoos all over the body, but in particular on the face , especially in women, which were not considered attractive if they had no tattoos around the mouth, something really unthinkable for us, don't you think? 🙂

If you like Maori tattoos but you are undecided on the style of your perfect design , the one you will wear for a lifetime, keep reading this article in which we show you many photos and ideas on this particular type of tattoo.

MAORI BACK TATTOO

The Maori tattoos on their backs are among the most beloved: may be large, imposing and super elaborate, but are not always visible. As you can see from the images below, Maori tattoos consist of rather intricate and geometric decorations , alternating with white spaces that give character to the design.

These tattoos are generally in black and white, and rich in shades alternating with very thick and decisive strokes, but sometimes it is possible to find color inserts that give light and beauty to the tattoo, which we remind you, will be with you for a lifetime!

PHOTO TATTOOS MAORI ARMS

In men, the most popular Maori tattoo is certainly the one on the arms: the Maori warriors in fact were full of tattoos on the arms, which indicated strength and physical prowess.

Also in this case we find intricate and complex designs, which must be performed by professional tattoo artists able to identify the perfect shape and size of the tattoo to obtain a harmonious and naturally flawless result.

MAORI HIP TATTOO

Women, on the other hand, love to highlight their shapes, with large Maori tattoos, enriched with flowers and mandalas . This kind of tattoo is very large and demanding, so if you want one of this kind, arm yourself with a lot of time and patience, as well as money! In fact, the most serious tattoo artists demand payments with rather high hourly rates !

The only exception of this type of indelible design on the body are the tattoos on the feet : the most graceful and feminine caress the fingers, the most gritty and original rise on the ankles, wrapping them.
