great tattoo worx! please check out some of our tattoo videos!
all the best, rock’on Ash
Egypt might have outdate us (Not sure if that even true) but we made it look good!! Would you agree? Actually in the other parts of this doc some monk in india had the oldest known tattoos….if im not mistaken.
chee hoo!
i smell bs.
Dude Y0ur all shit
ill some sence into you S0 your Saying Maoris migrated from Savaii ???
yo samoan tattoos are the best. and plus samoa made the word tattoo. tattoos were firstly from samoa. but every polynesian country is the same, they all migrated from savaii, samoa.
just a quick question. how sanitizing is this method?
Sike, Sole every culture had their own form of tat’s, and uso’s weren’t the first. Ask any tufuga and they’ll tell you the same thing, our pe’as were influenced by tahitians. Even the sogaimiti describes the journey from another island… If anything Egypt outdates our ink by a couple hundred years…
how can i find the other parts of the documentary?
ALL Polynesian Cultures are the same. We all believe in and practice the same things and most likely had tattoos around the same time. Polynesians are ONE PEOPLE. Stop the arguing amongst ourselves.

@polkadotpants If you decide to go for a Maori design make sure it’s a kirituhi and not moko – moko is basically a Maori’s story of ancestry, tribe etc, you don’t want to wear someone else story – that’s why they have kirituhi, so people can have Maori style tattoos but the shapes and patterns don’t have meaning unless you give them one. Hope that helps
@kdkjrf It’s a nice sentiment that you ask, but you’ll most likely find some will be proud that you want to wear their style tattoos but there will also be some that disgree, personally I think go for it, but if possible design your own, it’s alot more special and not as hard as you might imagine.
@kdkjrf if u get it done for the right reasons then yeh but a lot of people just get it to look cool
@knpdyeballarice soul signature tattoo i think
the guy in da camo did my uncles tat at soul signature tattoo.his name is Lopeti
WTF? this guy is Hawaiian getting a traditional SAMOAN tatau to honor his father? Why don’t you get a traditional Hawaiian tattoo?
i love it, so spiritual and free
get whatever you want as a tattoo and nothing else
the hawaiian kakau was introduced to hawaiians by some samaoan slaves brought by the haole ppl i believe…
if you research deep into ur subject and learn a little bit of samoan lingo you’ll learn that the hawaiian wrd “kakau” translates to the samoan wrd “tatau” which means tatoo…
the goat’s tatoo was a way of branding their goats as many haoles brand cows & stuff…
i’m not positive on da facts so check um eh

Ugh tht has nothing to do wit hawaiians.. thats all samoan.. Samoans were the very first to have ink to have on their bodies.. not asians, not the aztecs or mayans, Samoans!! straight from the Pacific islands.
howzit….well uh i gatta do one research project on hawaiian kakau. an i was wondering if anyone knew, bout in ancient hawaii when the haolie guys started coming, why many chiefs had tattoo’d goats ?…cuz i mean not native animal it was introduced an yuuup…i need help.
What do you guys think of a non-polynesian having a polynesian style tattoo. I am a big fan on how their artistic styles, I would like to have on done but I do not want to offend or insult polyensians.
Brothers, do you eat rice in your daily basis? Like do you have to have rice in your meals?
a pe’a is samoan not hawaiian
The pe’a is a SAMOAN Tatau meant for Samoan men and it takes a week to finish not month a year etc… Not a Hawaiian tatoo either
first find where in hawaii your family and ancestors come from,what tribe ect know your family geneology and story then go to hawaii find a traditional tattooist like this guy and tell him your story.thats what i had to do only difference is im half maori from new zealand lol
