This man was so impressed with my "Reg is Gay" tattoo he offered to pose for a photo..

Picture of Maori women from the 1800's.
Here if glory is a Moari high born (worrior class) women. Notice the Moko or facial tattoo's made in the old way with chisel and ink, even over all her lips. The Tiki or jade stone pedant hanging form her neck for protection. And the Pounamo Mere or Jade hand axe, a prized item. This material was the most precious thing the Moari believed it help spirit and also was very hard for making very good weapons from..

New Zealand Maori Worrior. (1800's)
The feather cloak he wears is only worn by the noble class of worrior kings, the moko or facial tattoo's told the story of his life, including his family heritage his battles and his skills. (The Maori had no written language everything was in the form of carving) The Green stone ear rings and Tiki pendant sources of power and authority and protection. Fierce but beautiful their ways nearly lost by European opression. Let us not forget..
