Heya i did ma tattoos with the needles but it is frm ma own design i got three of ma relations to draw out ma designs and another guy to do the wok, um it wasnt done the traditional way with the cut and ta way ma tipuna ma ancestors did it that wud have been painful ass and bak in the nineties i dnt think newun new how to do the tap and cut way then rub the ink intu the wounds etched and cut in to the skin, and it wud of taken klose tu twenty years before all of it wud be close tu finishin it, that was how me ancestors did their ta moko bak in the days. I did ma own designs but later on wen i herd wun of ma unkles say i cuda dun wun pertaining ma Father and Mothers whakapapa, geneology on ma face i was disappointed that i was not told wen i was havin mine dun but i am happy about geting mine dun bekos it repersents hu iam as a Maori and i carry ma ancestors history on ma face so im happy with that. As for how i did ma lockz was the natural and neglect way and jist left them too matt up by themselves. How have you been ma friend??I like yur locks how are they comming along?? Where are you from??

I agree mama! I guess I've just learned to take the good and leave the rest :o) There are so many great people here, you're right! I hope u stick around. I don't mind when people disagree but we should at least attempt to be respectful of each other. I'm certainly not perfect, I've sounded harsh w/o meaning to and I've also pushed that reply button a lil too hastily lol! But I'm trying to be more aware of how things sound. I just didn't want u to think I was puttin ya down :o)  Many Blessings

Hi! I just wanted to say that I don't think anyone is implying that anyone's dreads are un-natural. It's just a very common term for people who didn't use a starter method to say they started with the natural method. Nothing but washing or separating. For the past 12 years that's just the term we have used in my group of dreadie friends. Your dreads are of course still natural it's just used to describe the method of doing nothing in the beginning. It doesn't really matter, everyone should just say what they wish and not argue over it. I just wanted to tell you that I don't consider anyone's dreads un-natural or fake in any way. Much respect for all those who choose to rock the dreads!!
