Tatoo come from the Samoan word tatau.
Samoa was the only place in the Pacific that tattoo was an ongoing phenomena. The revival in the Pacific and in other countries of Polynesia came direct and indirect from Samoa. I was there as part of all this. Tahiti and the Marquesas did not have any of this in recent memory until a Samoan tattoo, came to Hawaii when Tavana (Tavana’s Spectacular Show in Waikiki) invited a Samoan tattoist from Upolu Samoa (1980-81). He tattooed 2 Samoan there and then Tavana (who is by the way full caucasian from the mainland and not Tahitian) and then the Samoan tattoist tattooed a Marquesas guy who was Tavana’s boyfriend at the time. The Samoan tattoist, tattoed Teva from head to toe. I was there, witnessed everything. All of the designs were from Samoa, except some few scriblings by Tavana (I think his real palagi/caucasian name is Jack Anderson), in which Tavana called Marquesas designs. I was there also. Im not writing about what someone said. The so called revival in Tahiti, Marquesas, and Hawaii was a direct result of Samoan tattoos and their tatau masters. This is a long ancient history and art of Samoa, and still many Polynesian islanders do not give enough and proper credit to samoa in the perpetuation and survival of the tatau in the Pacific. Most of the islanders, gave in to the Christian missionaries and stopped tatoos but not Samoa. Most of the tattoo designs now whether they are in Marquesas, Tahiti, or Hawaii are a variation of Samoan designs. Many in Hawaii, and the Marquesas do not want to admit this. Most of these islanders lost their arts and their designs long ago, and the Samoan artists helped to recapture those designs for many Pacific islands. Several of the Tatau masters from Samoa, were travelling/invited by many Pacific islands to re introduce the Polynesian tataus in their own lands, because up to that time most Pacific islands looked at tataus as babaric and pagan and I might add that christian missionaries were influential in fostering that attitude among islanders. Im sick of ignorant people who write things and pretend to be experts in these arts, but all what they do is rehash the same old misinformation over and over again. Sometimes misinformation from islanders/non-Samoans who hate Samoans and dont want to give Samoa credit for the survival and its critical influence and impact in Polynesian Tatau/tattoos.

Iorana Josh,

You probably don’t remember me, but I lived on Ahe with your folks and you and Loic back in the early ’70s. If you get this message, please contact your Dad and have him write me or write back yourself and let me know what you are doing. I plan on visiting this summer from my home here in Kona, Hawaii.

Arofa,

Keven
