Ta moko is the permanent marking of the face and body as traditionally practised by maori, the indigenous people of New Zealand.
Captain James Cook wrote in 1769:
The marks in general are spirals drawn with great nicety and even elegance. One side corresponds with the other. The marks on the body resemble foliage in old chased ornaments, convolutions of filigree work, but in these they have such a luxury of forms that of a hundred which at first appeared exactly the same no two were formed alike on close examination.[1][2]

A few weeks ago I was at Wegmans for lunch and nearby was a man with elaborate Maori face tattoos and speaking with an obvious New Zealand accent. He was there with his young daughter. The contrast between those face tattoos and the sight of a dad helping his little girl pick out lunch was striking.
