Tā moko was featured as a part of the 160th Kingitanga anniversary celebrations over the weekend. Among the 26 recipients, a leader being recognised for his unending service to the people dedicated his moko to the Kīngitanga to express his commitment and unwavering loyalty to the kaupapa. Much of the history of the Kīngitanga movement is shown through the design tattooed on his head. Read more about the celebrations here: https://goo.gl/VLFoPd Via Te Karere | 1News

"The head is the most sacred part of the body. To choose to wear Tā moko, where I'm from, it's deep - the whole world is looking at you". Traditional Maori tattoo art or Tā moko has seen a revival in recent years. | BBC Arts
