There’s a link in there for the exhibition itself – it sent me round in circles, but you may have more luck with it.

What major schools of tattooing are there, Maori, Japanese, who does it in Indonesia, the Bugis? What else? I saw a middle eastern looking woman yesterday, an old woman with blue tattoos around her eyes…

there is a fair amount of information around on Moko, the art of Maori tattooing. Just search for “moko” on Amazon for several books.

And a couple of websites:
Ta Moko

Last time I looked, cafepress.com didn’t offer stick on tattoos, although that’s an excellent idea.
If anyone gets a Bug tattoo, please send me a picture of it.
