Aloha. Just so people know, when you get a Kakau you have no say in to what you’re getting. You tell your families history and what you been through to your artist and your artist should know every meaning to your history and paint the canvas

Many Fijians believed that our Samoan "Tatau" originated from Fiji. Let's take a minute or two and silently contemplate on that belief. If our "tatau" came from the Fijian then it's not ours. Right? Think about it, we are living a culture that was designed from another culture by someone else's mind. To clear things up. Our people "Samoa" were the first Polynesian to practice and continue to practice the "tatau" traditional tattooing. We have Tufuga families in Upolu that have passed this tradition from generation to generation. With that being said, among all Samoan, Manua's were the first to practice traditional tattooing. Although the song indicated that the art of tattooing came from Fiji, but we're here to tell you it's not so. In those days most Tongans and Fijians did not know that there was a village in Manu'a called Fitiuta and a residing place of the Honorable Tui-Manua the first king of Samoa. From Tui-Manu'a came all honorable Papa Ao (kings) like Honorable Tui-Atua, Honorable Tui-Aana, Honorable Natoa'itele, Honorable Vaetamasaoalii. Later came Honorable Malietoa, Honorable Salamasina, and Honorable Fonoti. Our "Tatau" did not originate from the Island of Fiji but from the village of Fitiuta in Manu'a. The story go's Taema and Tilafaiga were daughters of Sina, these two sisters brought the "Tatau tools" to the shores of Upolu from the village of Fiti..... Fitiuta in Manu'a. Also, the kingdom of Tonga once practiced traditional tattooing, but it was outlawed in 1839 by the Tongan government because it was considered unnatural in the Christian world. Despite the outlawing of tatatau (tatau) in Tonga, Tongan chiefs would still travel to Samoa (as they had done for centuries) to get tattooed by one of the tufuga tatau. All we're saying here is...Our "Tatau" is ours, originated from our ancestors mind in Samoa and not from some distant land. That being said please let us know if you see a Fijian woman with a malu or a Fijian man with a tatau. The Missionaries tried so hard to banish the practise but were unsuccessful, Samoa believed this was our GIFT #AigaStrong

It’s logical that the Fijian skin don’t suit ink 🤙🏾😎

I agree that these are Traditional SAMOAN tatau prints, "WHICH btw ARE WIDELY PLAGARIZED by ASIANS & the like EVERYWHERE" especially the wannabe cooooool Filipinos lmao...😂🤣😂. Salamat!... You've missed alot of details about both Fijian & Tongans. I disagree w/ your post discrediting Fijians and their contribution to SAMOANS and tatau. I also disagree with your knowledge about the Tongans & their history of tatau. Tongans do not approve of tatau and never did. Please remember there was a war between the 2 and Tongans ruled and looked down on Samoans and their way of life. This is all before the twins started the uprising for SAMOA to overthrow TONGA. This is also before white Christians influenced Tonga. Tonga never had tatau prints or patterns - never have and any new patterns will be based on SAMOAN design just like everybody else's plagarism. You said to be honest, no disrespect, but Tongans were proud and snooty af towards SAMOANS cultural practices & beliefs. Lately Tongans have been trying to get on the tatau bandwagon and had to make up their own prints (not authentic). In the process, they copied/used Samoan prints/designs with one or two additions and called it Tongan. In regards to Fijians, they did in fact help SAMOANS by introducing the tools to make tatau, but not the patterns & prints. Fijians gave the 2 sisters the tatau tools and even showed them how to use them, but the 2 sisters long trip home faded their memory of how to make the tatau taught to them. So, the SAMOANS decided to create their own prints telling stories of SAMOAN history using the same tools Fijians gave the 2 sisters as a gift to SAMOA. Without the Fijians tools, SAMOANS would've never documented Samoan history with tataus. This is the real history of Polynesian tatau; family's dirty laundry.

@@sefamoa7877 You are right about the Tonga and their fake as Polynesian patterns including other Polynesian islands. But the story about the tools (au) started from Tilafaiga and Taema from Fitiuta in Manu'atele not Fiti or Fiji.

According to Polynesians that I’ve talked to. it’s okay to get the sleeves.They tell a life story of each and every individual person. As long as you respect and are educated in the culture then it will be completely fine
