    Although I don’t really like facial tattoos, I think his nose is verrrry nice done.

    I love that shirt! I wear mine all the time, although the likeness in the photo is uncanny!

    I do have a big tongue, but when it is split (i did have regrowth) it was like 2 normal size tongues! haha. And the ladies don’t seem to mind ;) … okay i lie, they do mind :( haha.

    Coming from someone who is Maori & is also friends with multiple Ta Moko practitioners, that is not a ‘Moko’. It doesn’t really even look like it, Maori inspired maybe but it’s still just kirituhi. This isn’t an attack, but I don’t think that this should be referred to as ‘Moko’, it’s simply a polynesian inspired facial tattoo, to call it Ta Moko is offensive.

    That looks a lot like Queequeg from Moby Dick. (:
