Usually, you get a lower status in your tribe when you flinch when getting tattoed or when you have achieved a simple thing. Maori tribes have used these tattoos to represent who they are.
I have made my own one though it's not that good and didn't really put my best into to it or I'm just bad at art.
The top bit represent my parents family getting together. The koru on the sides means I'm still growing as a person. The moko on the side that looks like ladders means I'm artistic though I'm not too sure about that. The thing on the bottom means I'm an average family.
