Designed by Peter Ormsby from Out the Kete and inspired by my koro, Whakaruru Hoete Ahipene – a master carver whose visions came to him in dreams – this piece is steeped in legacy and transformation. Ngā Moemoeā o Whakaruru honours the art of storytelling through whakairo, and the way those stories are passed down, not just in words, but through hands, heart, and craft.
This design is a reminder of the beauty and wisdom gifted to us by those who came before. A tribute to whakapapa, to wairua, and to the quiet power of carrying our stories with us. Always.
Includes 2 sheets of Nail Transfer Tattoos in your choice of black, white, or both.
Made with love in Aotearoa.
