............Sydney-based artist Tuta Tuheke, 39, who lives in Waterloo, says Maori tattoo art, once a dying art form, is experiencing a renaissance.
There are currently about five Maori tattoo artists in every state, he says.
They mainly work on people who are predominantly Maori and can't go home and get a tattoo.
With a background in carving and graphic design, Tuheke, a practitioner from New Zealand's King Country in the North Island, says when he began as a tattoo artist several years ago, there would be four clients a week.
Now there are three a day.
