Style and Status

The Māori chin tattoo, or moko kauae, was once a suppressed tradition. Now, it's a celebrated symbol of identity and leadership, worn by women in New Zealand's highest offices. From a painful rite of passage using bone chisels to a modern statement of cultural pride, this is the story of how an ancient practice was brought back from the brink of extinction. It's not just survival; it's a powerful revival.
