Tiki Tattoos
Tiki tattoo designs often bring to mind large Polynesian statues and stone masks that are intertwined with floral designs and sometimes the occasional beautiful and sexy hula girl. But tiki tattoos have so much more potential than that. In Polynesian culture there are over four hundred thousand gods and goddesses and over four thousand carved images available to someone who wishes to have a tiki tattoo inked. This creates a great opportunity for creating a design that is both symbolic of your nature and is very unique.
Most people however, like to have their tiki tattoos to contain the well carved wood and stone totems that are so recognizable in Polynesian culture. They either have them picture alone or in a suitable environments; such as a sandy beach, along the blue waves of the ocean or in a tropical enclave. Other people like to have their tiki tattoos to be a little simpler. They like to feature the tiki masks of the various gods. This can create a very symbolic tiki tattoo because each of the gods have a specific power or emotion attached to them. This theme can be taken further and combined with symbolic animals as well. This makes for a design that is not only unique but is only rich in meaning. |
