Mandalas / Jewelry / Polynesian Tattoos by Gregg

Polynesian tattoos are among the oldest forms of body art and date back thousands of years. The traditional tattooing methods of Polynesian cultures are steeped in symbolism that is meant to tell stories and connect individuals to their families, geography, spirituality and culture. Polynesian tattoos use many tribal symbols and geometric shapes, such as triangles, dots, and curved lines. Each design is placed specifically on the body in order to tell a story and can represent certain values, virtues and experiences. Polynesian tattoos pay respect to the origins of the art form and can be seen as a beautiful and personal way to honour one’s culture and ancestry.
