Samoan Tattoo

The most often employed Polynesian word in the English language is tat. When and how the word ‘tattoo’ came to be used is the subject of many a debate but there is no doubt that it is a modification of the Polynesian word ‘tatua’. Therefore, Samoan tats are in fact the first type of tats. Their designs have a commonly tribal look and they are always black and not coloured. Yet they consistently manage to appear exquisite and complicated.

Samoan tattoos feature lots of shells. These are largely turtle shells which symbolize longevity, fertility, wellness and peace. At other times it reveals sea shells which symbolize shields, protection and intimacy. They also use the ‘Marquesan cross’, which symbolizes the delicate balance between the various components of nature. There are several other such typical symbols that are used by Samoan tattoos. These tattoos are normally prevalent and cover big lengths of your body. In this article we’ve list of set top most samoan tattoo designs with images and significance for you.

Sunlight are part of many Samoan tattoos. They are typically comprised with other typical symbols to convey significant significance. The sun in the Samoan culture stands for riches, brightness, grandeur and direction. This is the more general significance of the sun. But this can be altered with the utilization of other symbols and layouts.
