Book: Maori Moko or Tattoo
compiled by Pita Graham
1994, The Bush Press, softcover, 32pp

Here is another book on Maori tattoo to add to your collection.

A slim book, but packed with worthwhile information and beautiful full-cover pictures of actual ta moko examples, gleaned from the amazing paintings by CF Goldie and Gottfried Lindauer.

The Maori Moko or Tattoo book is split into the following sections:

The Custom of Moko
First Impressions
Moko as a Signature
A Sacred Craft
The Tohunga Ta Moko
Patterns in Moko
Methods of Tattooing
Styles of Tattooing
The Tools of Moko
George French Angas 1822-86
The Tattooed Body
Tattooed Women
The Tattooed Sailor
The Trade in Tattooed Heads
Gottfried Lindauer 1839-1926
The Recorders of Moko
Major-General H G Robley
Charles Frederick Goldie 1870-1942
The Decline of Moko

Whilst this book is more of an introduction to Ta Moko, it is ideal for anyone wanting a first and inexpensive book to learn about Maori tattooing, and to see in clear pictures how the designs looked.  More comprehensive books are also available here.
