just found this site

http://www.freetattoodesigns.org/maori-tattoos.html

near the bottom of the page it says that maori people can be offended by none maori people having a maori tattoo 🙁
might explain why you didnt get an answer from the people from the site you listed .

I know but at the website i found it says it can be offensive and this is why you need a Maori to do it for you. He will know what will be offensive and what will be ok.

and no, i havent found a book which expleines the symbols. not a detaild one.

iv got maori with me, mum,dad, sisters and there kids that was not done by a traditional maori tattoo artist and im going to new zealand in a few weeks to see my sister and im going to get a traditional one done so i dont no what there going to think of the one i got now if they get offended they may not tattoo me cuz im going to a traditional maori tattoo shop where there going to do it the way they did it like 2000 years ago where the tools are all made of bone

if i find any books il get the titels and post them for you
