Samoan Tattoo Photo #13588

Known as tatau, the practice carries deep cultural meaning tied to identity, rank, and community service. The bold geometric patterns and rituals surrounding the process set Samoan ink apart from every other tattoo style.

Fine-line tattoos use a single thin needle to create delicate, precise designs with minimal line weight. The result is a subtle, almost sketch-like quality that suits detailed small-scale work.

Neck tattoos are among the most visible placements, making a confident statement. The area suits small, detailed designs behind the ear or bold pieces on the side or back of the neck.
