FAQ About The Cultural Significance of Traditional Maori Tattoos in Modern Identity
What is Kirituhi, and how does it relate to Ta Moko?
Kirituhi is a term used to describe Maori-inspired tattoos that are designed for those without Maori heritage. Unlike Ta Moko, Kirituhi does not convey the same cultural and ancestral meanings, serving instead as an artistic appreciation of Maori styles. Kirituhi allows for broader cultural engagement while respecting the sacredness of traditional Ta Moko.
