Hey, if these are new pictures, how come he has less tattoos in them? Did he have the forehead tattoo removed? Did it just fade away?

C’mon Roo, if you were anyone else I’d excuse your use of the term ‘ta moko’ and blame it on the fact you’re a pom and it was your people that beat down the Maori here in Aotearoa. But really now, that Andy guy at first glance doesn’t look Maori, and his facial tattooing doesn’t look like ta moko in the least. It’s fine and dandy, but from an educated background (in my culture and Maoritanga) the facial tattooing he has is messy as hell. And you should know that Roosy!

well said Jon.P this should NOT under any circumstances be referred to as Ta Moko, there are other terms used to describe New Zealand inspired designs ripped off and used on white folk or non Maori but Ta Moko is very specific in its definition and is particularly insulting to be used in this sense.
