A Quick Introduction To The Samoan Tribal Tattoo

Samoan tribal tattoos would not have been the first considered when individuals decided to get traditional tattoos in the past but are particularly well known today. A large part of that is the WWE and Hollywood success of Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock. A Tahtau, or traditional Samoan tribal tattoo, covers half of Johnsonís torso and has undoubtedly become cool.

Samoan tribal tattoos are incredibly intricate and are etched into the skin using ancient practices that are still used today. Tahtau patterns symbolise honour, amongst other things, but are bestowed on those men that are worthy to carry them. They follow family ties as well so seek advice before getting one. You do not want to offend the Samoan people!
