Where I find the information: Ta Moko
We don't really have a clear meaning of what is the meaning behind the tattoo.

Maori Art || Ta Moko || Social Studies
I Social Studies, we have been learning about Maori Art or Ta Moko. Our teacher made us draw our own tattoo design and we have to give meaning. While we are talking about Maori Art I have learnt that there's the different meaning of each tattoo just like when you put a tattoo on the centre of your forehead means "Ngakaipikirau"(rank) it signifies man's rank. While when you put a tattoo on your chin means "Wairua"(mana) it identifies the mana. Mana refers to the demonstration of authority over a piece of land or group of people.

Great job Jhermaine. I really like how descriptive your explanation of Maori art and tattoo designs is. It is great to see that you have also included te reo words in too. You mention that the ta moko represent a persons rank and mana, can you tell me more about who can get these and when they might get one?
