Samoan Tattoo Photo #13606

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.

Geometric tattoos use precise lines, angles, and repeated shapes to form structured compositions. Symmetry and mathematical patterns give these designs a modern, architectural quality.

The thigh offers one of the body's largest flat surfaces, making it ideal for detailed, large-scale tattoos. The area is easy to conceal and generally comfortable during the tattoo process.
