Is there a book which describes the meaning of the designs (Polynesian, Maori, Marquesian) so as to choose which ones to use for my tattoo? Ik now that there are a lot of designs depending on the body part you want to get tattooed. Can anyone help? thanks
Dr J say.. there are loads of em out there fella but i’d do your homework very carefully so as not to end up with someone’s grandmothers moko on your arm, for an insight into th methods and meanings behind polynesian tats look up Gordon Hatfield, he’s recognized by those who know as a world authority on th subject, keep it real and get one drawn up just for you… doctorjtattoo@yahoo.com
I love the look of Polynesian tattoos and want to get some work…..but the symbols all represent something and I only know a couple of their meanings.Please…I need help finding out. My appointment is soon. Otherwise I gotta get something different. Which isn’t a problem (I have alot of ideas). But I really need to find out what they mean. There is a site with a dictionary of Polynesian design meanings but it costs some bucks. I don’t wanna pay for it yet if I don’t have to. Thank You..
