As far as I am aware, warriors would slowly get more moko on their face and important women would get the chin thing.

It's very much related to one's standing and history, not just an aesthetic or rite of passage therefore all end up with one.

Patu are the small clubs, but I find the long wooden spears (Taiaha) way more impressive. The whirring sound at the beginning of Once Were Warriors is Taiaha spinning at speed.
