Many clients ask me to include Tikis in their custom tattoos, as symbols of power and protection. I usually place them on the chest, in chest and shoulder tattoos or full sleeve tattoos. Or, if it is only an arm or shoulder tattoo, as main design on the shoulder.

Depending on the Polynesian style required by the client, I include a Tiki design hidden within the tattoo.


This Polynesian forearm tattoo, created by me for a visitor to this online tattoo shop, features a Tiki as its main element.
