AZTEC, TAINO, INCA, POLYNESIAN TATTOOS: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
These styles of tattoos are tribal: lines and areas of black ink, and negative space/skin, generally without grays or colors. But, what is the difference between these tattoos?
All of them represent ancient art from different people, different regions of the world:
AZTEC TATTOO STYLE:
Aztecs are an ethnic groups of central Mexico, particularly those groups who spoke the Nahuatl language and who dominated large parts of Mesoamerica from the 14th to 16th centuries.the Aztecs settled down in the swampy land around Lake Texcoco, Valley of Mexico.
In this style of tattoos we can make Aztec Calendars, feathered serpent (Quetzalcoatl), Nahui Ollin God (eye), Jaguar warrior, Aztec skull warrior, pyramids, ornaments, and much more…
These are some samples of tattoo designs created by me, Juno, professional tattoo designer, through this website, according the wishes of each customer:

TAINO TATTOO STYLE:
The Tainos were inhabitants of the islands of Puerto Rico, Republica Dominicana and others. An ancient culture with a splendid art to create tattoos. In this style we can make Taino suns, Coqui frogs, Cemi god, goddess, spiral designs and Taino ornaments, and more. Also, we can add a Puerto Rico or Rep. Dominicana flag in this same tribal style. I call this style “Taino colored” tattoos.
Many people want these style of Taino tattoos combined with Polynesian symbols of strength,shark teeth, ocean waves and spearheads, the style that I call “Taino mixed” tattoos.

POLYNESIAN TATTOO STYLE:
This is an ancient art of the people of Oceania, Australia, Samoa, Hawaii, Polynesian islands. It is a very popular style because several sports and film figures wear Polynesian tattoos: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (wrestler and film actor), Tim Cahill (Australian football player), Roman Reigns (American football player and fighter) and more. In a tattoo like these we can add symbols of strength, ocean waves, good luck, protection, eternal life, wisdom and more…
Also we can add modern symbols to tell the story of each customer such as military logos, professions, dates, names in the same tribal style.

INCA TATTOO STYLE
Incas are the ancient people of the Andes, ancient empire from the Ecuador to the center of Argentina. Cusco the capital of the Inca Empire (13th century – 1532) it’s located in Peru. These are some tattoo designs created by me, 100% online, in Inca style with a Birdman of Tiawanaku, Inca gold mask, Andes cross, Tumi, and Mesoamerican designs.
