From all tribal tattoos Hawaiian tribal tattoos nowadays are probably the most popular and meaningful body decorations. Their organic flow forming into different meaningful shapes is truly beautiful and adorable, so it’s not a surprise that these tattoos are loved among both men and women around the world.
In Polynesia where Hawaii Islands are located, tattoo art has been significant for many centuries. Western culture hadn’t really discovered it yet, when Polynesians already developed their body art to the highest level of elegance.
Hawaiian tribal tattoo meanings can vary depending on forms and figures depicted. Historically these tattoos were made to mark heritage, status, special achievements, believes, but first of all the tattoo wearers relation to this Pacific region. All Hawaiian tribal tattoo designs reflect nature – leaves and flowers, lizards and turtles, shells and fishes. All small elements are placed in perfect harmony to create together the big picture of harmonious tattoo that stands for… harmony in nature. Not just people with Hawaiian heritage would want to get something like this, and it’s totally understandable. No matter where in the world you are – beauty and harmony of nature goes hand in hand.
Pretty often these tribal tattoos are made also as frames for other symbols depicted in the same Hawaiian tribal style. Turtles symbolize long life, shells stand for wealth, but these Hawaiian tattoos in which the tribal ornaments together form something similar to a human being is Tiki – the first human on Earth with enormous abilities to smell danger.
Your tribal tattoo might be simply your body decoration without any symbolic meaning in it. Of course, they look great and elegant, perfect for upper arm tattoos, wristlets on large back pieces. But if you want to combine your Hawaiian tribal tattoos with other symbols or tattoo any figure that would be formed in this tribal style, research Hawaiian symbols. All tattoos inked taking in consideration the Hawaiian perception of beautiful body art will be considered Hawaiian tattoos; and wearing something without knowing its’ meaning probably is not what a mindful tattoo wearer wants.
