ta moko : The choosing of the design was not, however, an easy process. Unlike getting a mundane tattoo now, a moko took months of approval and planning on the part of the elders and other family members. First the elders decided whether one was worthy of receiving a moko. One of the questions they need answered with an unwavering yes was: "are they committed to wearing their tribal identity on their body for the rest of their life?" Then the design process would begin by taking into account the tribal history, which was the most important component of the moko. Next elements representative of the individual and their position in the tribe were added. Only when the design carried proper significance in relation to the individual and their tribe was it approved. Although many peoples’ mokos looked similar, no two were ever exactly the same. Getting a moko was not taken lightly; it was a sacred cultural rite, and a spiritual experience.
