Is it disrespectful to get an Aboriginal tattoo
I really want a tattoo that would remind me of my time here in australia, but have trouble finding something that would look beautiful and mean something at the same time.He was arrested because the tattoo and its placement on the shin were seen as highly disrespectful to the locals.Each symbol is rooted in the spirituality and specifics of what makes it traditional.I know a first nations person, i have an aboriginal friend, my niece/nephew is married to an aboriginal and/or torres strait islander, my neighbours were aboriginal and/or torres.Examples of baha'i related and inspired tattoos.
So here is where my question really comes in, and it is more directed to the indigenous people of australia.Although so much of the history of traditional tattooing practices was lost during the colonial era, it is understood that ta tatau is a tapu , a sacred art form (allen), one which should be practiced.You're more likely to make friends by saying 'aboriginal person', 'aboriginal' or 'torres strait islander'.Scarring is like a language inscribed on the body, where each deliberately placed scar tells a story of pain, endurance, identity, status, beauty, courage, sorrow or grief.Racist is a very strong word with a very specific definition denoting superiority of one's race or culture over another.
