As much as it is offensive for non maori people to get ta mokos, imupwidit is right- we shouldn't really worry about it considering its their own problem that they're going to have to spend the rest of their lives having someone else's story on their body! I cant wait to get my ta moko..Anyone else a decendent of the Te Arawa tribe?
To the brothers from nz stressing about this dude wearing someone else's whakapapa I would say don't worry bout it because this is not even close to being authentic in design it means nothing culturally and is only a symbolic mimicry of MOKO
This is as Maori as David Beckam. Having said that imitation is the highest form of flattery.
@kwinseeeee I wouldn't go as far as saying it's not that good cos it might mean something to someone, but I agree he should have got a kirituhi, wearing someoe elses story is bad enough but choosing it just cos it they think it looks pretty is another; I'm designing my own, freehand based on Maori symbols, my own story.
WRONG WRONG WRONG ......bad enuff the mount of non maoris sporting tamoko hea in nz let a lone over seas well you want to know about maoris put sum1 else whakapapa on yr body....

On top of that, it's not even that good. Should've gotten Kirituhi. You're being disrespectful by getting Ta Moko...
