Meet the author

Roberto Gemori has studied and designed Polynesian tattoos for over 20 years.

He is one of the founders of TattooTribes and PolynesianTattooSymbols, two of the leading websites about Polynesian tattoos and their symbolism.

He wrote two books (included in this course) called "The POLYNESIAN TATTOO Handbook" (Vol. 1 & 2) to shed some light on this complex and fascinating tradition.

Got questions?

We’ve got answers.

Can a non-Polynesian get a Polynesian tattoo?

Yes, and no.
Polynesian tattoos basically use two kind of symbols and patterns: some of them are considered tapu, which means "sacred", while others are considered noa, or "common, not sacred".
Tapu elements should only be used by people who are entitled to them by family and descent, after proper ceremonies are held, while everyone else should only use noa elements for their tattoos.
All of the elements presented in the course are noa, which means that you can use them all without fear of including symbols that you are not allowed to wear.

Do Polynesian people consider disrespectful if others get a Polynesian tattoo?

No, and yes.
It depends on how you approach Polynesian art and, ultimately, culture. Plain copying someone else's tattoo is always disrespectful, because you are stealing their own story. This values for Polynesian tattoos as well as for any other.
Creating a Polynesian tattoo that tells your own story and being able to say what it represents, shows that you acknowledge and respect the importance of such tattoo and therefore it is not seen as disrespectful. It shows your appreciation and admiration for Polynesian art and culture.
Remember: a Polynesian tattoo is never just a nice design and that's why we created this course!
