What does the turtle symbolize in Polynesian tattoos?
Turtle: Polynesian symbol of family
Polynesian turtle or Honu is a symbol of family.
Turtles are associated with ideas of health, fertility, long life, foundation, peace…everything we want for our families.

If the turtle is large, I include other Polynesian designs inside its shell.
Turtle in a Polynesian armband tattoo:
This is a detail of the final design of a forearm tattoo created by me, with a turtle as the main design on its outer part. And with a tiki face inside the turtle shell.
This is a shoulder blade tattoo for a customer from Puerto Rico, that’s why I added Taino designs , sun and coqui, on the Polynesian turtle shell.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL
DJ – Aztec-Polynesian-Full Back
“I was honestly a little nervous as I have never used a service like this before, but I loved the art I saw from Juno. I took the chance and couldn’t be happier. After 3 drafts with minor revisions, (enlarging a turtle, adding symbols for my family, etc); after about 2 week’s total my tattoo is complete and it is better than I ever imagined! It is amazing, a full back piece that accounts for my existing tattoos and styles. Juno was awesome and worth the time/money.I am excited to get this piece tattooed so we can work in the next one.
Thanks Juno!”
