Borneo Tattoo

Hi all,
am trying to track down information on tribal tattoos from Borneo, primarily re-occurring motifs and their meanings (i.e. like the Borneo Eggplant tattoos Bunga Terung). I had a heap of notes on my old laptop from a visit to Sarawak a couple of years ago but a cryptolocker virus put paid to that. Is there a reference book or website that could be recommended. I've checked ethnographicartbooks.com and there a few possible leads to follow but just wanted to check in case there is a gold standard that I should be searching for?
thanks in advance
