In July 2011, Palisson featured shirtless in LGBTQ+ magazine French: [[Têtu]] wearing a fake Maori: [[tā moko|moko]] and holding a Maori: [[taiaha]]. This caused controversy in New Zealand, with some Māori people saying that Palisson was being disrespectful to their culture and that permission should have been sought from a particular Maori: [[iwi]] as the Maori: moko usually represents Maori: iwi affiliation. Palisson was eventually forced to apologise for any offence caused and stressed that he respects tattoo traditions.[2] [3]
