Modern Tattoo Designs
The early modern attempts of Maori tattoo revival were often of poor quality, because the practice of the art was all but forgotten. Although a general design may be made, it would still omit key points found in traditional tattoos. The growing interest in Maori tattoos though have inspired artists to combine the traditional designs with new ones and modified it to create a modernised art form.
Modern tattoo designs are believed to have been developed around 2,000 years ago in the lands of Polynesia. In the country, there resides an ancient ethnic group called Samoans which are known for their lust for tattooing. And for some reason, their heritage in body art survived until today.
According to the legend of the Samoan tribe, the art of tattooing was introduced to them by two women named Teama and Tilafaiga. And since then, it had flourished and became part of their culture and tradition. In the tribe, both men and women get the tattoo.
