Maori tattoos are among the most distinctive tattoos in the world and
have their own identity amongst the Polynesian tattoos. Tattooing is a
sacred art among the Maori people of New Zealand, and probably came to
them from the islands of East Polynesia.
Maori tattoo art is very beautiful, consisting of curved shapes and
spirals in intricate patterns. Distinctive for Maori tattoo designs is
the fact that they are based on the spiral and that they are
curvilinear. The most prevalent place for a Maori tattoo was the face,
probably a result of the cool New Zealand climate.
