@matuajordan: Replying to @haris_pilton If you think 2026 is a crazy time to get your moko, wait till you see 2027 👀😂 #mataora #māori #moko @The New York Times
Will you now remain clean shaven? So as not to obscure the moko?

Not that my opinion matters as I am not Māori, but I think it’s beautiful. Keep spreading your culture!

My aunty got her’s when she was in her 60’s. We all love it, and the pride she has. But I just don’t get how people are getting so upset about it. It’s not like you are telling them to get one?

They are also getting common over here in Aus, we even have Queensland police officers with a Moko Kauai. My BIL got his and I’ll be by my man’s side when he gets his done.

Ok, but it was set aside for certain people in the tribe, not everyone could receive one.

I love seeing them. I hold back from asking people what their story is unless it's one on one but they are beautiful and they make me smile because you know the person has a gift and they share it with those around them

It’s a beautiful thing to me. I don’t understand why people have a problem with what someone else decides to do with their face.

Do you choose the design or does the person tattooing you choose it?

It was suppressed just like the Maori language was, all people of Aotearoa/NZ should be proud of our history, warts and all 😥

Do you choose the design? Or how big it is? Like some people it’s only on the chin, others are like yours around the whole mouth, and some the whole face. Is any of that a choice? Or does the person doing it make all the decisions?

A maori bloke helped me at the hospital after I gave birth - he was some kinda tradie doing some work there. I just remember how beautiful his moko kanohi was. It blended into his face in the most natural of ways. As if it had been there since birth. It was easy to see why he had it too given how kind and gentle he was - his aura was strong
