    Blooreeler,all without question.I have a particular
    interest in Maori tattoo art.

    I grew up with Goldie the artist in the Auckland museum.











    I digress,as is my wont,the fine art also became the
    black art,as enterprising Maori realised that the
    art form was in demand.And so a good trade in human
    tattooed heads was born.

    In order to get more into the FEDEX so to speak,they
    predated Japanese miniaturisation,the heads were hollowed
    out,filled with sand and cool smoked to the size of a softball.
