Introducing our latest nail design: Whanaungatanga. This beautiful and unique design was inspired by the Māori concept of "whanaungatanga" which stresses the importance of relationships between people.
This design is perfect for those who want to show their respect for Māori culture and history, and also for those who are looking for a creative and stylish way to express themselves. These tattoos are sure to turn heads and start conversations, so don't be surprised if you find yourself becoming the center of attention when you wear them!
*Whakaaro (ideas) shared by Hana Burgess and Te Kahuratai Painting in their extraordinary chapter in Whose Futures.
Each set includes 2 sheets of 12 Nail Transfer Tattoos (37mm long) in black and white (24 in total).
Made with love in Aotearoa.
Designed by Lance from 818 Ink
