Allie :

can you do celtic tattoos please my ancestors where know for tattooing their selves

bubbuhs :

i read once about how precolonized inuit women would tattoo their inner thighs so that the first thing their baby saw would be something beautiful ❤️

H0und5 :

For Māori the name is tā moko! The slides shown of the woman/wāhine are called moko kauae. Men/tāne wear Mataora. The patterns are symbolic, most commonly representing a person, their family, where they’re from, and achievements in life 🫶🏽🫶🏽 to me they’re are the ultimate form of beauty

♱ :

Omg I just realized that I accidentally wrote Maōri instead of Māori. I’m sorry for the error guys that’s a bit embarrassing 😭😭

casketprettyyyy :

Missed opportunity to add in Samoan Tatau. Since “tattoo” is the anglicise version of “tatau”

The māori tattoos are known as Moko kauae in Māori/te reo 🎀

Susan :

I know Ainu is in here, but I wanna share my Ryukuyan roots with Hajichi. It's a tattooing practice done by women for women in Okinawa. We are not recognized by Japan as indigenous, but we are still here trying to keep our culture strong!
