Sacred Skins Magazine
ABOUT
This magazine offers a powerful visual and cultural introduction to Māori moko tattoos, focusing on the deep symbolism woven into every bold, intricate design. Through striking imagery and concise storytelling, the magazine explains the spiritual meaning, ancestral ties, and cultural significance behind moko.
Each page highlights how moko is more than just body art—it is a sacred language that expresses identity, whakapapa (genealogy), mana (power), and connection to the atua (gods). The bold patterns are carefully examined, with insights into elements like koru, niho taniwha, and pātiki, explaining what they mean and how they shape the wearer’s story.
Designed to inform and inspire, this magazine celebrates Māori artistry, history, and pride, honoring moko as both a cultural legacy and a form of living resistance.
