    2006 at Human Rites Tattoo
    3 sessions 9 hours
    Mix of Polynesian art
    Contemporary
    Meanings are personal

    Samuel: this is a contemporary tattoo that has influence from
    Tahitian, Samoan and Hawaiian tattoo patterns.
    The tiki in the top middle represents the creator of all life.
    There are elements of fishscales, niho mano, and lauhala.
    Tattooed by me at Human Rites.
