Become familiar with Polynesian Tribal Tattoos and their meaning with Tahititatou.com

Tribal Tattoo Designs are very popular nowadays with a steadily increasing number of people incorporating them into their own tats every year. But what do all the tribal patterns and symbols mean? What’s the history behind them? Did/do they serve a purpose?

Yes, they did! And still do! Tribal tattoos were first introduced to the western world in the beginning of the 16th century. Sailors would travel to the Pacific Islands and bring back with them the “souvenirs” of tribal tattoos. The Polynesian people used them as representations of personal life experiences, spiritual beliefs and ranking within their tribes. To this day, Polynesian tribal tattoo symbols are used to tell one’s personal story. In fact, every pattern and design incorporated into a Polynesian tattoo means something. What though?
