[quote=CHRISWAUGHBJ,38489]Interesting. Tattoing is common throughout the Pacific. The Maori people of New Zealand applied tattoos, called moko, to their faces as well. The men's moko covered the entire face, the women's moko only covered the chin and lips. Actually, some Maori, including young people, choose to have moko done even today. Of course, the method of applying moko has changed drastically over the years, from stone chisels and ash (like the Dulong method, but using stone instead of bamboo) to modern needles and ink. Many other Pacific cultures also have traditional tattoos, although usually not on the face. It's easy for us to say it must be terrible to have such a tattoo, and if it was done forcibly, then I suspect it really was a terrible thing, but I wonder if maybe some time in the future young Dulong people will choose to have tattoos, like young Maori today choose to have moko, as a symbol of pride in their traditional culture.[/quote]
