Samoan tattoo style

In this style of Polynesian tattoos we can see straight lines, strips of Polynesian designs like shark teeth, ocean waves, spearheads, stones, triangles.

These Polynesian tattoos are more geometric, often symmetrical. We cannot see there designs like turtles, suns, sharks, manta rays, or logos, dates, names… no recognizable or complex drawings. Only straight lines and small and repetitive geometric designs.

Because it is ancestrally made with flat tools, straight lines and geometric designs abound. In this video you can see how they are made with the ancestral Samoan technique.

Of course I always recommend first: choose a tattoo style that you like. And, going further: a style – of your liking – in which you can add the Polynesian symbols and designs that represent you, yours…your own story.
