I don't think many folks would know a Ku from doo doo.
So if you like that image get it.
Get a good artist as a Ku could be f$%^ed up if not done well.

I like the Easter Island Moai with the top knot better, then that's just
me.
That is a pretty peaceful image/tiki.
Plus a group of them with some standing and some laying down would be cool.
But they pushed them over in acts of war so that maybe be too close to the
war thing for you.
But it's a good story to tell of your tat.

AND those tiki (Easter Island Moai)represented dead family members I think so that's not bad.

A Tattoo for me would need to have a deep meaning for me to slap it on, like getting it
in a far away land, or by a great tattoo artist, maybe to mark an event.
Every tat should have a cool story to it.

All this comes from a guy with no ink.
Good luck!

I totally agree that tats should have meaning. I thought this tattoo looked quality -

But again, it's Ku and I can't really relate to that god.
