Maori tattooing... it's a symbolic icon that describes the wearers status or history.
It's disappointing that Mike Tyson and Robbie as well as a few other hard core artists have used them out of proportion. It's a cultural thing that should be left alone and not profited by outsiders of the culture.
Imagine if Hearing started copyrighting the ILY symbols the International Deaf community uses as part of their culture?
I don't have any tattoos as I can't have any due to a skin reaction... which is a buggar...
