Since I first started the tattoos, I've worked with three artists. The most recent (and hopefully all future) work is by Michael Fatutoa, of Sacred Center Tattoo. Michael is among the most acclaimed and sought after traditional Polynesian tattoo artists in the country, and a leader in the native- Samoan cultural community. I am grateful to have met him and to have the opportunity to continue my tattoo journey with him. www.sacredcentertattoo.com

Done in Moorea, French polynesia by Albert. Arranged by the Moorea Pearl Resort.
We took one of his general designs and added a few things I wanted. The tiki(the face) is the guardian/protector and the 3 loops right above the nose represent the 3 kids. The triangles on the left side are shark's teeth representing strength and the braid just to the right of them represents ancestors.
So..The tiki protects the family with the strength and wisdom of the ancestors.
It took about 2 hours to do and he did a great job...hurt like hell down on the shoulderblade and ribs, but it was worth it :)

Work in progress - a traditional theme in Polynesian artwork, the turtle or 'honu' symbolises the navigator that is able to find its way home time and time again - and a representation of guardian spirits that were believed to take the form of animals.
I love bringing depth to these traditional styles with careful pointillism dot work, giving shading and pattern instead of just solid heavy lines all over.

Aaron's new ta moko - it is a disguised manaia with our whanau depicted in it. The middle koru is me (wifey) and the three koru round the bottom/side are the kiddies. The manaia represents Aaron, guardian of his whanau.
