How would you no the difference between both stlyes if tattoos. I understand the meanings of the maori and kirituhi and why Kirituhi has been reivented as such so that non maori people prescription drugs without can have and appreciate the art, however for example www.storm3d.com/shoulder_tattoo_designs/shoulder_tattoo_designs.html

Would number 140 or 142 have anything that would mean anything to the maori traditions or are they both just body art or Kirituhi
Ha fair enough but there are some tattoo artist that use this so thaught they may be able to help with this question
