Hello! Few notes to make today!
1) Here’s a few links I mentioned for some info about Māori ta moko — they’ve got links to videos and primary sources from, like, the actual people of the culture in question. these are just like. starting places, but you know!
(Also, like, bears mentioning here that like, hey, if I ever mess up re: representation & sensitivity, please don’t hesitate to call me out about it!)
2) Ishmael’s little whale tattoo is from this post I made a little while back of Queequeg tattooing all his friends (Ishmael & the other harpooners, Tash and Dag). He definitely gets several more throughout the course of his life (you can actually see one peaking out from under his sleeve on this page — a little pattern of his own that’s semi-reminiscent of queequeg’s (though not an exact copy bc . yaknow. culture)
3) I really enjoyed streaming on Twitch last Sunday! I don’t think I can make it a weekly thing, but maybe biweekly, so if you want, feel free to come hang out with me next Sunday for some chilling and art.
And come back next week for more questions!
Thank you for reading! stay safe!

Oh that's so neat! Yeah it's not really used often anymore but in MD it refers to an insult for cowards! Thanks for sharing!
