Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Discover the rich, global history of Tahitian tattooing in a stunning journey through artifacts, cultures, and styles that continue to inspire today's tattoo artists. This book is a richly illustrated journey into the sacred art of Tahitian tattooing, tracing its origins, meanings, and enduring cultural power. Long before tattoos traveled the world, the people of Tahiti practiced tatau as a living language-one inscribed on skin to mark genealogy, social rank, spiritual protection, and personal identity. Each line, curve, and motif carried stories of gods, warriors, navigators, and the natural world. Through vivid illustrations inspired by traditional designs and historical accounts, this book explores how tattoos were created using ancestral tools, natural pigments, and ceremonial rituals that bound the individual to the community. Readers will discover the deep symbolism behind iconic patterns and learn how tattooing functioned as both art and rite of passage. The book also confronts a pivotal turning point: the arrival of European missionaries in the 18th and 19th centuries, when tattooing was suppressed and nearly lost. Yet tatau endured. In the modern era, Tahitian artists and cultural guardians have led a powerful revival, reclaiming tattooing as an expression of heritage, resistance, and pride. Both an art book and a cultural history, Tahiti Tattoos honors the skin as a canvas of memory and the tattoo as a bridge between past and present.
