Polynesian tattoos, or tā moko, are more than just body art—they represent a deep cultural heritage, carrying stories, identities, and traditions passed down through generations. Rooted in the islands of Polynesia, including Hawaii, Samoa, Tonga, and New Zealand, these tattoos hold significant meaning, intricately tied to the individual’s history, status, and spiritual beliefs.
