The Maori Tatoo

The native people of New Zealand are known as the Maori. There are Maori stories
about where tatooing originated. These tribal people tatooed their faces with a bone chisel. This is a drawing of the patterns for these tatoos. You can click it for a larger version.

This is the face of Maori Moko, scanned from John Rutherford: The White Chief (pre-1923).
