Maori Tattooing with Ta Moko Artist, Tama Raihania.

Tama Raihania has been drawing and studying Maori
artwork and Moko patterns since his early
childhood. This interview tells the story of the evolution
of tattooing. Tama is a "Tohunga
Tā Moko" (Ta Moko tattoo artist). The
word tattoo comes from the Tahitian "tatu" which means
"to mark something." It is arguably claimed
that tattooing has existed since 12,000 years BC. The
modern pronunciation of the word is due to
a mispronunciation by earlier explorers such
as Lieutenant James Cook.
