Description: The traditional tattooing process is not done by needles or machines but by using a bone chisel. Because this form of tattooing is done by the use of a chisel, it is considered to come under the category of Whakairo (Maori Carving) with the chisel's been usually made of albatross bone. With the family, some of the elders and the Tohunga Ta Moko the process begins, with constant chants and karakia from those sitting nearby as awhi (support), he begins chiseling lines and curves with a non- serrated chisel stopping only to rub the specially concocted dye (soot and dog fat) into the splits in the skin with a serrated chisel. It provides bonuses to all tattoo spells of 10th to 14th level.
