Maori Tattoo Photo #214
Maori body art, known as Ta Moko, is one of the oldest and most meaningful forms of permanent marking in the world. Unlike decorative ink chosen from a flash sheet, traditional Moko tells the story of a person's ancestry, social standing, and life achievements through a precise visual language of curves, spirals, and symmetry.
Geometric tattoos use precise lines, angles, and repeated shapes to form structured compositions. Symmetry and mathematical patterns give these designs a modern, architectural quality.
The inner arm offers a soft, relatively flat surface that suits detailed and sensitive designs. It's a semi-private placement, visible only when the arm is turned or raised.
