Question

Traditionally, why did Maori men wear Ta moko? (Site 1)

Answer 1

In pre-European Māori culture, many if not most high-ranking persons received moko. ... Apart from signalling status and rank, another reason for the practice in traditional times was to make a person more attractive to the opposite sex. Men generally received moko on their faces, buttocks (raperape) and thighs (puhoro).

Answer 2

Ta moko is an important part of the culture of the Maori people. It is a sign of the Maori cultural identity. Both male and female Maori wear ta moko. Men wear ta moko on their entire faces. They wear other tattoos on their arms, midsections, and thighs. Women wear ta moko mainly on their chins and lips.
