This Maori Arm Tattoo one of my recent tattoo sleeve drawings is loosely based on a Manaia design.
The meaning in traditional Maori culture remains a mystery. It was no doubt a magical symbol.
Here is my Maori tattoo drawing. If you use it please email me the final work. Or register and post it in the comment section below.

I have posted an outline version of the tattoo drawing and a color option of the design for those who like it. Note the red version of this tattoo would not be as effective on darker skin tones and I would suggest black outline with possibly white high lights which is still in the traditional Maori color palette.
I liked the center part of the maori tattoo drawing so much I have removed the background and created stand alone maori design this could be tattooed anywhere really but a arm or a leg seems the obvious place for it. If you like this maori drawing and use it as a tattoo please send me a photo of the finished work. Or register and post it in the comments section at the bottom of the page.
