Thnx for sharing the meaning behind your tattoo. I was particularly interested in the Maori part being that I live not too far from the Land of the Long White Cloud in Australia and have been tattooed by Croc who practices the original form of ta moko and Polynesian style ta tau.
Here is a short video of Croc and Inia (Maori artist) I took when they visited Melbourne a couple of years ago.
