I mentioned earlier that I was designing my brother a tattoo, well he wants a Moko (a traditional Maori tattoo). I am of Maori/European descent, so I thought some research was needed and man this is gonna be a tough one.
Here are some links about Moko explaining the history and meaning of the symbols:

Man my brother just cant keep it simple and ask me to draw him a dragon or something.
Well it should be good learning about my culture, genealogy and designing it correctly, im going to have to find a really big family tree that goes back like 30 generations or something (exageration maybe).
here's a link to an example of what my brothers may look like:
