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.

Hey, it’s been years, but I Googled ‘BMEAotearoa’ just to see what was still floating around. I wanted to reply to the comment, two comments above, by someone named T who says that Pine’s tā moko isn’t actually tā moko. Tēnā rūkahu tēnā, e hoa! Pine has whakapapa Māori, at least the last time we shared a kōrero together (many years ago), so that makes his moko kanohi ‘tā moko’ in the sense of the term in which you’re using it. I also designed the shirt he’s wearing and I’m Ngāti Porou, so it’s tūturu Māori all over, e hoa!
