    The Ta Moko Symbolism

    Originally, the Ta Moko reflected the native New Zealand man’s tribal status and social ranking, and in the modern day has become one of the most popular tattoo styles.

    Every shape, pattern and symbol told a story of their unique tribal background which denoted their connection and integrity within their tribe. However, what you see today isn’t always a precise representation of the past.

    With many modern tattoos this symbolism gets lost to the beauty of the art it creates on the human body. However, with the help of our award winning knowledge of this tattooing style, Northern Ink's artists can connect you to the historical symbolism it once represented.

    Ta Moko At It's Best

    J Lee studied the art of tribal Maori & Polynesian tattooing styles while tattooing in and around the south sea islands in the early 90's. He learned all the techniques and required cultural understanding and meaning from native tattooists, when he spent time traveling around islands like Fiji, New Guinea & New Zealand to produce the very best in traditional Maori & Polynesian tattooing. 

    Please email or phone our tattoo studio based in the center of Huddersfield, to arrange a consultation and discuss your ideas directly with J Lee, or take a look at some of the traditional Maori & Polynesian styles we have on offer, or bring along what you have in mind!
