  • "Marau Kingi," a Maori woman with chiseled lip and chin moko, ca. 1920. Sadly, I have no information on this person, but maybe someone in the Instagram universe does!? Photo postcard from my collection. #maori #maoritattoo #newzealand #polynesiantattoos #polynesiantattoo #maoris #culturalappreciation #indigenous #heritage #traditionaltattoos #traditionaltattoo #tattoo #tattoos #tradition #portrait
  • "Georgina & Eileen, twin guides of Whakarewarewa, Rotorua North Island." These two Arawa sisters worked in the Thermal Springs District of Rotorua guiding tourists around the area. They both have chin and lip moko made with darning needles. Original postcard from my collection by Iles ca. 1910-15. #tattoo #tattoos #maori #newzealand #rotorua #indigenous #portrait #tattooing #traditionaltattoos #traditionaltattoo #culturalappreciation #heritage #tradition #postcard #polynesiantattoo
  • Kamareira Te Hau Takiri Wharepapa of Ngati Horahia, Nga Titoki, Ngapuhi of Northland, ca. 1920. He traveled to England in 1863 and met Queen Victoria. His moko is over painted to accentuate his facial tattoos which were chiseled into the skin. His hei tiki (necklace) seems to be purposefully turned away from the viewer, perhaps so the mana of the piece would not be affected by the photography. Unused postcard from my collection. #maori #maoritattoo #tattoo #tattoos #culturalappreciation #portrait #heritage #moko #newzealand #warriors #indigenous #blackwork #blackworktattoos #tattooing #traditionaltattoo #polynesiantattoo #tatouage #tatau #tiki
