Tattoos are known all over the world. It is when a tiny needle is pierced into your skin, maybe several times depending what type of size you are planning on receiving. Here in New Zealand the age is restricted to sixteen, along with any extreme piercings that you may or may not get.
Tattoos are done when multiple needles prick your skin, you do bleed but the tattoo artist wipes it quickly so it cannot be seen. The outer skin cells are slowly dying the more the skin is pierced.
Tattoos are not a very big trend or tradition in the maori culture. Signs to either show your maori is the Moko that you can get. It has multiple swirls and is mainly only seen in black or green, unless you prefer it to be in multiple colors.
In my family I only know of two people that have special tattoos. There is my grandma who has a big moko all around her arm, it was a significance to her turning sixty. As Well as my grandma, there was also my dad who had gotten tattoos on his wrist and hands. This contains the information of his kids which I am the only one on his right hand.
Did you know tattoos do effect your body? Doctors say that when you get a tattoo your blood vessels fight against the ink to try and remove it. It then stays on because the vessels have not succeeded to get the ink removed. It also means you can no longer donate your blood if you have got a tattoo. When the tattoo has been done incorrectly you will find swelling and painfulness days after the tattoo has been done.
Overall Tattoos are good accessories for your body but it is painful and sometimes they can go wrong. Deadly as well plus the hundreds of dollars to pay it off
