Inhaltsangabe

In a Polynesian tattoo, each line holds a tale.
Uncover traditions and storytelling through ink.

Each tattoo is made up of several smaller elements, comparable to building blocks, which are selected based on their meaning and then assembled together in a coded order to create the final piece.
JUST AS SENTENCES CONVEY MEANING IF THEIR WORDS ARE CHOSEN AND JOINED PROPERLY, SO DO POLYNESIAN TATTOOS IF THEY ARE PROPERLY DESIGNED.

Accurate information is generally very hard to find, but this is not the standard tattoo book; it's a practical guide unpacking the five main Polynesian styles:

  • Samoan tattoos
  • Marquesan tattoos
  • Tahitian tattoos
  • Hawaiian tattoos
  • Maori tattoos


with over 400 symbols and variants along with their meanings, fully illustrated with more than 550 images and with 15 original tattoos deconstructed to their basic elements and thoroughly explained.

Each Polynesian style of tattooing is presented with a historical and cultural introduction, highlighting the traditional symbols and their meanings.
Fifteen original designs and their stories are examined and deconstructed, showing how to identify and understand their building elements and explaining how they interact with each other to compose a meaningful tattoo. All the original tattoos are broken up into their main parts, outlined for clearer identification.
The main parts are then inspected further, revealing the basic building elements and symbols, grouped by meaning.

This book comes as an in-depth follow-up to The POLYNESIAN TATTOO Handbook and it extends the study of Polynesian tattoo styles and designs to help understand their origins and purpose, their symbolism, and their creation guidelines, making it the perfect resource for both those looking to get a Polynesian tattoo and those who already have it and want to know more about its meanings.

The WHAT, WHY, and HOW of Polynesian Tattoos.

And now, the book comes with the PDF version included. Find out inside the book how to download it!
