It is really disrespectful to their culture its kind of like a white guy wearing black face. But there are some symbols and designs that can be used without offense. hopefully that tat isn't the real deal most Maori and Samoan people frown on oueidstrs doing real tribal tats because the tats are spiritual and tell a family history.
