Tattoo, as a form of art, is deeply rooted to the history of humanity. One of the oldest cultures is the Polynesian tattoo.
Each such tattoo made it possible to «read» its owner: his origin, occupation, life position, as well as the degree of immersion in ritual practice, because unlike modern comfortable and safe conditions for tattooing, the process of creating Polynesian tattoos in past was accompanied not only with pain, but also real risks to human health and even life.
Into Polynesians usually include residents of New Zealand, the Marquesas Islands, Hawaii, Samoa, Tonga, Cook Islands and others.
Interestingly, that on the Marquesas Islands, only the chief and his family were allowed to get tattoos.
Now, in contemporary art, the Polynesian tattoo is very popular precisely because of its ancient history and the external attractiveness of tattoos achieved by numerous combinations of traditional symbols of this culture.
