Polynesian tattoos, particularly Samoan tattoos, are some of the most ancient and revered forms of body art in the world. These tattoos were traditionally worn by warriors, chiefs, and spiritual leaders to signify status, bravery, and ancestral lineage. Over centuries, the art of Polynesian tattooing has evolved, but the deep meanings behind each design remain the same.
At Tiki Tattoo, we honor this legacy by using traditional symbols like shark teeth (niho mano), which symbolize protection, and spearheads, representing courage and strength. Each tattoo design is tailored to reflect your own personal journey and connection to Polynesian culture.
Polynesian tattoos are not just body art – they are rich with meaning and symbolism. Common elements include:
Each design is created with an understanding of these symbolic meanings, allowing you to choose a tattoo that resonates with your story and values.
