Tattooing is popular in Hawaiian culture.

Today we meet some young gentle men who are in various stages of acquiring their tattoos, and they shared their personal stories with us.

Tattoo Artist: Mike Ledger
Watch my friend Cheryl Colan getting her “moko” in New Zealand.

  1. Awesome tats! Loved the ink and it was cool to hear the stories too. Thanks for sharing guys. Aloha

  2. Wow, what a great episode! I really enjoyed seeing the beautiful artwork these friends shared with you. To me it is moving that they all chose to have the sun setting in the west on their right shoulder – each one unique but unifying. I hope I get the chance to work with Rangi Kipa, my “moko” artist, once more – I don’t feel complete yet. Thank you for the link love, Rox, and as the Maori say, “Aroha.”
