Oriini Kaipara, a 41-year-old television presenter from New Zealand, responded with grace to a viewer’s negative remark about her traditional Māori face tattoo. The viewer had criticized her moko kauae, an important cultural symbol for Māori women, calling it a “bad look.” In her reply, Kaipara expressed deep pride in her heritage and emphasized the tattoo’s cultural significance. As the first primetime TV newsreader on New Zealand’s Newshub to wear a moko kauae, she explained that these tattoos reflect a woman’s ancestry, social status, and leadership within her community. The moko kauae remains a powerful symbol of Māori identity and tradition.
