Polynesian Tattoo Design Ideas and Pictures
Polynesia comprises of over a thousand islands, each of which boasts of an individual style of tattooing. The art of tattooing has been an integral part of the Polynesian culture for thousands of years. The word 'tattoo' itself is Samoan (of Samoa; a Polynesian island) in origin and stands for 'mark' or 'strike twice.' According to Polynesian mythology, Ta'arora - the God of Creation - taught the art to two of his sons. In the primitive days in Polynesia, tattoos were made using equipments like bamboo, turtle shell, bird bone and other similar objects that made the process quite painful. The advent of modern tattooing equipments has made the process much comfortable and the turn of the century found body art becoming popular in Polynesia after a brief hiatus.
