 In this maori tattoo design article i am going to let you know a few things about Maori Tattoo Art and what you should try not do.

 This is important especially if you are looking at having a unique and great looking maori tattoo design

Maori Tribal Tattoos found here

 There are many mistakes people make when getting traditional maori tattoo designs and i hope that by the end of this article you will avoid the most common mistakes made by most people these days.

  These days with the ever growing popularity of tattoo art amongst all cultures through our increasing multi cultural society, traditional maori tattoo designs seem to be the choice of tattoo at the moment, almost like a fashion statement.

 In fact traditional maori tattoo designs are some of the most popular tattoo designs around and there’s a valid reason why traditional maori tattoo art is so popular in our current multi-cultural societies.

  In today’s world with so many tattoo artists and so many people looking to get tattoo art, you will find them going through and looking at other cultures in the hope of borrowing or worse of stealing other peoples designs to come up with their own tattoos. This can lead to artistic flair, but not so when choosing traditional maori tattoo designs .

 To understand traditional maori tattoo designs you need to understand traditional maori terminology. As you know if you were learning about science or any field there will be terms associated with that particular study and so it is with  traditional maori tattoo art. The ta moko is the name of the family identification of Maori that form part of the group known as whakapapa.

 The reason it is important for maoris to know their family history is important especially when they were waring amongst each other over the centuries and before their arrival of the shores of new zealand.

  There are still Maoris that can trace their history with these maori tattoos, some chiefs can look at a Maori tattoo design, read it like a book, they do this by feeling the texture, looking at the design and the precision that went into getting the tattoo and will be able to trace back some of these Maori family trees. There are designs that date back over a 2,000 year period in maori history, these chiefs have the skill and ability by looking at the design and are able to tell how far this tattoo dates back to or this particular design origins.

 What most people don’t realise when looking at a design is that they tell a story, though they look like a swirl or twirl to us, they actually tell a full story when you know how to read these tattoos.

  So you have learnt about the “ta” form of the maori language now its time to introduce the “moko” part, that is the important part as it involves the chiseling of the tattoo into the skin.

  So you think that getting a tattoo by today’s standards is painful, well traditionally the maori made deep cuts into the skin using brutal tools and yes also the bones of albatrosses, for the maori to be able to distinguish themselves from the other tribes they used the color of the ink to tell the family history and the patterns on the skin would then allow someone to interpret the family history of these patterns.

 What this would essentially do for some one, is that they would, if they were an elder be able to tell the history by looking at the design the moko and of course the patterning of the skin. There is a common misconception around the world thinking that maori tattoos in their original sense were only done on the faces, however this is not true, they were also done on peoples bodies, what this allowed them to do was distinguish their chiefs or leaders by having these markings on their faces

 There are so many people copying maori tattoo designs these days, many people think there is no harm in doing this, at first sight but is it really ok to steal other cultures identities?

One should never just take words, images or symbols from the maoritanga or Maori culture without knowing what they are doing, as to the Maori this is seen as an insult, can you imagine walking around with some maoris family history? One thing not to do is to go out into the world of maori tattoo designs and just start copying any design, this could lead to a situation of stealing some maoris family tree

  How would you like to know what maoris really think about other cultures and especially now the western cultures stealing their identity and culture?

  The word “pakeha” might not mean anything to you as a westerner however in the maoris language it is associated with negativity, those that never ask for anything and simply take…….

……….without asking! Wouldn’t you say that this sounds more like stealing someones culture? Well this is what the maori think of other people and especially the western world for taking their tattoos, they feel that not only did they loose their land but also now they are loosing their culture of tattoo designs

  One thing that is annoying many traditional maoris as mentioned, is the stealing of these tattoo designs and the reason that it is annoying them, is the fact that they foresee a day when the maori will have lost everything, they believe they have lost their land, now they are loosing something that makes the maori for who they are today, and that is the maori through their tattoo designs, they feel that this is the last thing to go in terms of spirituality before they have lost all to the west, which is quite sad as all cultures on earth are only bound as a culture through their individual rituals and unique flair such as tattoos in the maoris case.

  So how will this effect your decision when getting Tattoo Maori Designs?

  The safest thing for anyone like you to do is to perhaps look at a few designs for inspiration but try never ever to copy the design like it is on maoris in newZealand.

The quickest way to get a traditional maori tattoo design would be to contact someone in new zealand who is in charge of a tribe or a tribal tattoo artist and ask if the design that you are looking at is not someones design already, though this might seem dumb as mentioned we have to be sensitive to a culture that has shrunk over the last 200 years, with the internet this could be done in a matter of hours Maoris are really only annoyed when you just take, they might even grant you a special maori tattoo for asking, do you want to know how many people would actually ask for a design?

Not many! That’s right if you ask you will more likely be given the go ahead for a special maori tattoo design, this way it will be even more unique and you will have a one of a kind maori tattoo design that you can be proud of.

NOSTALGIA

Traditional tattoos possess a sense of nostalgia. Maybe the tattooed person had special comics or movies growing up which included a character with a particular tattoo; maybe the wearer would like to link themselves with a specific group or historical age.

FULL OF COLOR

Many of the more traditional designs are bright, fun and full of color. Because of this, lots of people select them because they are good fun.

SENSE OF HUMOR

At the moment, loads of people who make the decision to be tattooed with old school tattoos do so with a sense of irony. However, this does not have to be the case. Having a traditional design tattooed onto your lower back is an excellent method of combining then and now – the marking may be traditional, but the placing is not.

LOVE

Love is an ever-popular symbol in tattoos, whether of the heart or someone’s name or of a rose. A horseshoe tattoo signifies good luck and fortune.

EAGLES

Birds of flight are also becoming more popular. They can be positioned in the middle of your lower back facing forwards if you’d prefer a symmetrical tattoo design, or placed off-centre to include a beautiful plunge; it’s your choice. An eagle symbolizes strength and bravery, and a blue swallow demonstrates a return to home and life.

MELANCHOLY

There are also heaps of melancholic designs you might like to think about. The most morbid of all would be the skull. It symbolizes death. Perhaps you could include a few flowers to make it more personalized? In addition, the Grim Reaper is becoming popular, but there is nothing stopping you from incorporating other images. Further, there are the usual sword and barbed-wire designs. Paradoxically, a tattoo design which include barbed wire could be very suitable for your lower back given the curves of the wire.

SEA

Sea-themed designs have always been popular. They include tattoos of, e.g., anchors, stars and mermaids. Anchors are a cool inclusion due to their curvaceous shape. In addition, it is possible to have names (maybe yours to avoid the need for removal surgery if a relationship breaks down) included in the design. Stars are excellent too, because they can be shaped to trace the femininity of the base of your back. A mermaid is a great way of accentuating your femininity, and employing the long hair of the mermaid to curve your lower back.

TAKE YOUR TIME TO FIND THE PERFECT ONE FOR YOU

There are heaps of old school tattoo designs out there, so take some time to research and decide which ones you are drawn to, then maybe think about whether you want to change it to mould it into the ideal tattoo for yourself. They have lasted the test of time, so take advantage of that!

INTRODUCTION

At its essence, the rose is a spectacular flower; it’s straightforward to see the reasons folks want rose tattoo designs tattooed onto their lower back. The curved essence of the blossom is perfect for the curved area of that part of the body, and lends femininity and beauty.

Loads of women are attracted to the rose due to its many meanings. Needless to say a red version means love and passion; a red rose with no thorns implies immediate love. The round head of the rose stands for fertility. All through the years, roses have been cultivated to give components used in a variety of lotions, potions and medicines. In addition, the rose has divine meaning, as many associate its splendour to religious leaders.

SYMBOLIC SYMBOL

For lots of people, the rose is a symbol of peace. Each and every person can recognize the value of the splendour and perfume of the flower.

A rose is a magnificent thing. It is highly perfumed with magnificent petals. Understandably, it does not have to stay in the ground. For many years, many people have acknowledged the exquisite physical attributes of the rose and have tattooed their skin with their personal interpretations of its beauty.

INCREASING POPULARITY

The rose is one of a number of traditional tattoos that is currently experiencing an increase in regard. In addition, there’s also a growing amount of women who are having designs which include roses inked on their lower back. They are taking the traditional symbol of the rose and merging it with modern concepts.

When reviewing your decisions of which designs you want to go for, you will need to think of three points.

ROSEBUD OR ROSE?

First up, which part of the rose do you want to include. Not all rose tattoo designs need the rose to be included; a straightforward bud could be. This bud symbolizes development, as well as innocence. Consider what you desire your tattoo to have and amend your design to match it.

SOLO ROSE OR BOUQUET?

The second thing is whether you want the rose to be alone or supplemented by other designs. Examples could be the stalk (which would provide any mirror-imaging you may need for the tattoo’s placing on your lower back), people’s messages (maybe of your children or other relatives), fairies (which can show a hopeful approach to life, cheer, cheekiness, depending on the type of fairy chosen), butterflies (which emphasize gorgeousness, poise and the delicacy of human life), bees (which mean busyness, sweetness and selfless sacrifice) or hummingbirds (elegant birds). There’s heaps of elements you might want to think about including, but try to make sure that they mean something special to you, other than just looking awesome!

COLORS

Finally, you may want to consider is what colors to use. Typically, roses are red, however this need not be the case with your tattoo design. You are free to choose any color your imagination can invent, but try to make sure that you appreciate the implication of different colors. These vary from person to person, but a few illustrations could include black (which normally symbolizes death, but which could easily be used as a mark of respect to a relative who has recently passed away), blue (which usually suggests tests await the wearer and you will work to succeed at them), golden (which traditionally suggests achieving success and fortune), yellow (which traditionally stands for birth and contentment) and white (which nearly always signifies purity). Choose your chosen colors carefully; there is no reason why you need only have one color.

YOUR TATTOO; YOUR CHOICE

Make sure that you are 100% content with the design for your tattoo. Take as much time as you can to decide what elements you want to use, and have a great time doing it!

Tattoo Sourcebook: Pick and Choose from Thousands of the Hottest Tattoo Designs

”Tramp stamps” is a negative phrase used recently to describe lower back tattoos. With the increasing number of people who now have them, it seems clear that there are going to be some good choices and some bad choices. If you want one, go for it, but spend a bit of time researching to ensure yours is a good decision.

For lots of people, a lower back tattoo is a positive decision because it allows you to amend your style of clothing to suit whether you want the tattoo to be on view. This is great if you happen to work in a corporate environment. Understandably, the amount of light you give your ink will depend on the warmth of your country.

Girls are drawn to this location because the lower back is purportedly the core of female creativity. To emphasise this part of your body is to draw attention to this creative force and illustrate your independence from other people. Physically, a lower back tattoo will highlight your feminine curves by focussing the eyes and compliementing your shape. An additional positive feature of this location is that it is quite wide and yet can be hidden, so it allows more creativity to be included in the sorts of lower back tattoo designs which may be chosen.

When deciding which of the many lower back tattoo designs to have tattooed onto your skin, you should remember that the tattoo must be for you – you have to want to be inked for yourself and not for anyone else. Locate and energise yourself for yourself! Once you are happy this is so, there are a few decisions you need to make.

Firstly: the design. Visit any tattoo parlor and you’ll see many, many potential images; it can be overwhelming. By having several ideas before you make this visit will save you time and focus your initial ideas on what you want without distractions. Do you want something connected to space (stars, moons, planets, star signs)? How about something more ancestral (stunning markings, maybe linked to your family or your country’s forefathers)? How about symbols (crosses, gorgeous celtic symbols, languages from different times)? Are you drawn to animals (the pride of lions, eagles’ strength, deers’ grace)? Do you love plants (a lotus’ life span, the elegance of a rose, the fragrance of your preferred stem)? With the increasing figures of relationship breakdowns, it’s probably a better idea to not be tattoed with your partner’s name. However, there’s nothing stopping you from including their name if that’s what you really want or the name of your children/ or parents.

Second of all, mirror images. The lower back is an ideal place for a mirror image design; your hips are symmetrical and a design which tracks this symmetry will draw attention to your femininity and praise your curvyness. However, if you prefer a tattoo which is not symmetrical, then go for it! Some sweet miniature stars or even a reptile would be awesome. Just remember: it is your tattoo, so make it right for you!

Finally, color. Do you desire a black and white tattoo (eternal, graceful, delicate) or a colourful tattoo which certainly empowers your ink and perfects the image you want? For many, the decision of whether to have color depends on the design, but take some time to note down what you find appealing in the tattoos of others.

A tattoo on the lower part of your back can be a special way of enhancing your femininity and demonstrating your imagination. Try and be as individual as possible and adapt any of the abundant lower back tattoo designs you locate to complement you completely. You will have it for a very long time, so choose wisely and make the tattoo works for you!
