		The slave, who sometimes came willingly for his moko, found to his dismay, that once his tattoos healed he was tomahawked, his head dried and sold to the ever-ready trader.
		A good-looking slave might be elaborately tattooed so that as soon as required his head might pass as that of a distinguished rangatira (the head of the community).
		At one time forbidden, the pride of the noble and the free, the unhappy slave was not forcibly tattooed and when his scars were healed he was tomahawked, his head dried and then sold to the ever ready trader.

	Information on Moko Maori Tattooing
		However, it is apparent by this account that, Moko was an art form and a practice already developed and established somewhere other than the original homeland of Hawaiki.
		So Moko, for this practical sense, became a tool by which a hierarchical custom could be observed and maintained.
		Again, recognition was afforded to such learning or qualification and in terms of participation, if a wearer, was to bear some authority over any such hapu orientated skills, as in being an authority to speak or to teach, the markings to symbolize their progression, growth and rankings were apparent.

	Ta Moko
		Moko designs and symbolism, like the other art forms and the culture it was born from, was never static.
		With Moko being very much part and parcel of whakairo (carving), experienced carvers will tell anyone that placement in their discipline, of house or canoe building, is often a crucial element of the whole process.
		Moko on other parts of the body were also relative to their placement, meaning that the full leg and buttock Moko, known commonly as "Puhoro" and/or "Taurapa", had messages relative to transport and movement.

		The full-face moko was a mark of distinction for Maori men, which communicated their status, lines of descent and tribal affiliations.
		The recent re-emergence of traditional Maori tattoo art is a mark that the Maori people have not lost their ties to their ancient past despite the dominance of European culture and values in New Zealand for the past two centuries.

	Ta Moko
		It is good practice to jot down a number of ideas about what defines you as a person - things you love and hold dear to yourself, where you come from, goals for the future, important people in your life, important accomplishments, changes in life direction or upheavals, personal philosophies or beliefs.
		This is to ensure that the design flows properly across the body in a harmonious way (as in most successful Moko design) I am reluctant to do armbands for the reason that they seem to cut across the flow of the arm.
		Personally speaking, I generally think it is inappropriate for someone not of Maori heritage to wear facial Moko or Puhoro, however there are probably as many views on this subject as there are people.

	Welcome to the Rangefinder Network
		In 1997, when New York City professional photographer Hans Neleman, got the idea to photograph the unusual facial and body tattoos called ta moko, worn by the Maori tribes of New Zealand, he had no way of knowing how difficult this project would be; nor the lessons he would learn along the way.
		The art of tattooing is practiced throughout the Pacific region, but in Aotearoa, New Zealand, the Maori took the art form to a new extreme by adding a process of scarification during the tattooing process.
		Banned and forced underground by colonial governments, the ancient art form of ta moko was kept alive by older women who lived in remote areas beyond the pale of European condemnation.
