Every tattoo is based on a life story

Polynesia is a group of islands in the Pacific Ocean (and part of Oceania) between the continents of Australia and South America. The most famous islands include Hawaii, Samoa, Marquesa and New Zealand. The most common Polynesian motifs have a Hawaiian, Samoan, New Zealand or Marquesan origin and the significant tattoos have a long tradition among island peoples, such as the Maori.

Polynesian tattoos are more than just body jewelry. The tattoos, which come from Polynesian tribal culture, have their own symbolism and so each motif has a unique meaning.

Each Polynesian tattoo is individually engraved and adapted to your own life story. And that is exactly what makes the Polynesian tattoo so special. Polynesian tattoos are often complex motifs with many details, which are carefully adapted to individual body shape and muscles.

Polynesian tattoos: symbols and their meaning

If you would like to have a Polynesian tattoo done, you should seek advice from a Polynesian tattoo specialist in advance. Each Polynesian symbol has its own meaning and different symbols can be combined together, giving you a personal and unique meaning.

Well-known Polynesian tattoo motifs briefly explained:

• Spearheads represent courage, strength. They are intended to protect against illness, hunger and injuries.

• Enata stands for life experience, family, friends and marriage. It protects against being separated or divided.

Hygiene and safety with Polynesian tattoos

In addition to artistic uniqueness and top quality, we have the highest standards for our work processes in terms of hygiene and sterility. In our studio, we only use high-quality materials and tested tattoo inks from recognized manufacturers. Every object used, such as needles, disinfectant, etc., is documented using an “ink notary” and thus checked for compliance. In this way, we can guarantee the best possible security.

We tattoo from the age of 16. However, we reserve the right to decide which tattoos may still be too early and which tattoos we will implement. In addition, the presence of a legal guardian is absolutely necessary for minors.

• The skin is much more sensitive to UV rays than non-tattooed skin, even after healing. It is therefore important to protect the tattoo. We recommend adequate sun protection.

• If re-pricking after healing is recommended, the offer should be accepted. This is the only way to achieve the desired quality and maintain it in the long term.
