In the tattoo industry, Ta moko is also known under the tribal catagory. To me, these cultural designs mean much more than just a tattoo. Ta moko is apart of my culture. Over the last few years, I have slowly taught myself this ancestral art.
I have currently two Ta moko tattoos (which i designed myself), one on my arm and one on my back. The saying "tattoos are addictive', is definitely true. Got my first tattoo at 17. Once it healed, I wanted another. Even though it hurts a bit its all worth it when its finished and all healed. Getting a tattoo is one thing I'm never going to regret.
I wouldn't say I'm a professional at doing designs. I just draw whatever comes to my head. All my designs are original work which I just do when I am bored. One thing I'm trying to learn at the moment is to draw a design that has a meaning. The ones I have at the moment have meanings to them which symbolizes me and my family (I have the meanings on my blog).
