Tatau is the traditional Samoan art of tattooing, a practice that holds deep cultural and spiritual significance. This ancient art form is a rite of passage, a symbol of identity, and a mark of courage, pride, and heritage. Each tattoo design, or ‘tatau,’ tells a unique story, reflecting the individual’s lineage, achievements, and status within the community. Performed by skilled master tattooists using traditional tools, the process and patterns of tatau have been passed down through generations, preserving the cultural essence and spirit of Samoa.
