If you ask ANY Polynesian elder, from any of the Polynesian cultures, you will be told that they love it when non-polynesians appreciate the tattoos enough to have them on their bodies. The older generation of Polynesians were often told that it was bad to express their traditional culture, so to see outsiders celebrating it is an unexpected and positive thing to the elders. As long as you spend sufficient time designing the tattoo, with respect and knowledge of the symbols, then you are absolutely fine to get a Polynesian tattoo!

Weirdo get Nordic tribals why ours ??!!

Lol naw, if you're not poly then you have no right wearing poly tribal.

​@@doggpound9319If you ask an elder they will tell you outsiders getting poly tattoos is a positive thing as long as they treat it with respect and spend time learning about the symbols. Remember that our elders are from a generation where outsiders told them that they shouldn't express the traditional culture, so the older generation typically find it to be positive when outsiders appreciate poly culture. I hope this attitude eventually convinces the young ones, because I don't like this "tattoos our ours" attitude

Repent before it's to late no joke wake up 📣📣📣 Let us fear God 📣📣📣 The kingdom of God is very very near 📣📣📣 Jesus is coming very very soon 📣📣📣

🤣😂🤣😂 go read your book that has been edited by man a million times. I'm sure it's all truth

Aloha Mark, Thank you for that verse. Does this verse mean that we should not tattoo or make any cuts on our body " FOR " the dead... or just in general? Im interested to hear how you interpret this verse. Mahalo

Remember when Jesus came majority of the Old Testament bible verses were nullified. They were only created for a certain people at a certain point in time to achieve a certain outcome. The only laws that are now valid are ones in the New Testament and it doesn’t allude to tattooing being a sin.

Well said lmao 😂

I am a half African and Samoan Muslim, I agree with the statement you made about tattoos being a sin, we call it haram. However stating that the person is doing witchcraft with what they put on there skin is totally wrong😬

Says no where in the bible that "tattoos are a sin" it says don't mark your bodies but that was talking about prisoners and etc

Says no where in the bible that "tattoos are a sin" it says don't mark your bodies but that was talking about prisoners but I'm assuming you're not Christian

Embracing The Lord Father is a Tattoo that people see. Especially the Negative ones. Ink comes in many colors.👍👍💪💪

I should tell the guards that you escaped the facility...

You never need to justify. The Elders of poly cultures will tell you that it is a beautiful thing that you got those tattoos. It is only Americanized young ones who want only poly people to appreciate and use poly tattoo.

That's beautiful man!

I'm a Hawaiian and I read about Russian and Slavic culture and langues. Love and respect to you.

This is a Poly cultural Art video, we don't come to your Christian, Jewish, Middle Eastern religious channels and blabber our views. So stay in your lane you religious Muppet.

most polynesians and micronesians are Christian/catholic, alot of symbols that we use for our tattoos symbolize family and serenity
