The Art of Polynesian Tattoo

 

 

The English word "tattoo" comes from the Tahitian word "tatau", and Tahiti is often cited as the birthplace of tattoo.

Tattooing plays an integral part in Tahitian culture and Tahiti Legends was proud to showcase the art of Polynesian tattoo at the 6th annual Ink N Iron Tattoo Festival aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach June 5-7.

Special packages as well as portfolios by famed Polynesian tattoo artists such as Marama, Manu, and James Samuela were promoted by our team. Pictured to your right is a freehand design by Marama. Let The Travel Desk & Tahiti Legends pre-book appointments with your vacation.
