Loss of Maori language/ beliefs Maori/ Pakeha relations Ever more popular art of ethnic

tattooing

Problem statement Tattoos are special for both Maori and colonial culture in

New Zealand

Kiwis love tattoos, lots of New Zealanders wear tattoos

The current tattoo tools that are used in tattoo studio are

not developed ergonomically

The tattooing process is normally painful and time-

consuming

Permanent tattoo patterns are not exchangeable, so they

become out of date easily and also fade and blur with time

So………What should we do?
