haka is from MAORI culture (not samoan) the chee hoo you always hear (fa’aumu) originated in SAMOA though and if by tapped in tatau you mean pe’a just know you are to serve your SAMOAN family and village connected to your SAMOAN family SAMOAN PE’A IS SACRED if you are saying just any tattoo with samoan motifs (which are also sacred and ancient) make sure you are learning the meaning behind your motifs dont just get cause it looks cool. samoan culture like fa’alavelave you give to the fam they give back so if you recive a samoan tattoo give back to the culture in some way. that is the fa’asamoa way 🫶🏼

As a Māori, I understand the cultural weight and meaning behind our designs, they’re more than just art, they carry whakapapa (genealogy), identity, and deep connection. Now when it comes to Polynesian tattoos in general, yes, you can get a mixed Polynesian-inspired sleeve, bro 💯. But here’s the thing: it really depends on how and why you’re getting it. From my own experience, some of our Samoan brothers and sisters are totally fine with outsiders getting tatau-inspired designs, especially when it’s done respectfully and with the right intentions. But there are others who do have an issue with non-Samoans wearing designs that carry deep cultural meaning or traditional status. For us as Māori, if you don’t whakapapa Māori, you can still get something called a Kirituhi, this is a modern design that’s Māori-inspired, gifted to non-Māori, and made to be respectful without carrying the same sacred ancestral meanings that traditional moko do. The main thing is always: respect the culture, do your research, and if you’re working with a Polynesian artist, kōrero (talk) with them. Let them guide you through the process in a way that honors the designs and the people behind them.

You don’t need to travel to Samoa or anything but if you would like to go for it now about the tattoo as long as you learn what the symbols (like a shark tooth or spear) on the tattoo mean and the history of us the Samoan people I don’t see a issue with it at all uce ❤️

You can earn the tattoo if u can learn the culture the traditional ways it not call disrespect if we said that an outsider would not get a tattoo bcuz he or she is not a samoa this is the samoa way that only their people can get the tatau bcuz they know the culture n language Bt an outsider can if he/she learns the our traditions n the language so that he can get the tattoo n been told to do something for the culture like ava or ect, the Tatau or the tattoo is very special only a person that is good n fully understand the language n culture can get the tatau, even samoa people if u are a fully samoa or a afakasi it not meant that u can have the tattoo when ever u want it samoa people should also understand first n learn more about the culture n language so that he/she can get the tattoo but not to show around the people or the world that they had the tattoo Bt they need to hide that can only see in specific ways like faafiafiaaga or

Tatau(samoa tattoo) isn’t just about the design, it’s about the responsibility and meaning behind it. If you’re truly interested, learn about the culture and talk to a Samoan tufuga (tattooist). The journey of earning a traditional Samoan tattoo carries deep meaning get to know our history and traditions first, respectfully connect with our culture💯🇼🇸

Also to answer your tattoo question you are always going to get mix views me personally I don't mind outsiders getting it as long as they know what their designs represents because our tattoos have meanings it connects us to not just the culture but those who have come before us. I would recommend finding a Samoan artist and working with him/her about what you want your design to represent. Because in the end if the artist doesn't agree don't get one it's considered disrespectful and bad luck to not get your artist's blessing.

It’s OK for you to get the Samoas decide but tell your story .story about your past whatever story you have you can turn that in to a tattoo you don’t need permission from anybody to get your tattoo I love how you respect the culture but I’m just letting you know it’s OK for you to get it there is only two certain tattoo that you mind need somebody’s permission to get that is the Pea and the Malu those are the main two tattoo that you may have to talk to somebody about that but the Samoas design your good

You are a perfect example of an outsider that is much deserving of getting one. Not like a lot of people nowadays that they got it because it’s beautiful but have no understanding of all the patterns and designs. There’s a lot of Samoan artists in the US. Washington state, Vegas, Utah, California and Florida💪💪

First find yourself a Samoan wife and then have her take you back home and learn through serving in a family and under a matai system. Is like being a prospect first until you get patched in but a tatau. It’ll take you some time approximately 10 years times. Good luck if this is something you really want. Much love uce. Oh and don’t get our traditions mixed up with our other Polynesian brothers.

@☀️NI: USO you can get the traditional way if you are willing to go through the process of earning it but we also allowed the famous Rihanna to get her Polynesian tattoo in New Zealand in 2013 but not traditionally done. It’s a blessing to embrace our culture around the world 🫶🏽

To my Samoan brothers and sisters, will he be able to get a Samoan tribal tattoo using the traditional tools when a man earns their pe’a and a woman receives her malu. Or the traditional tools are made only for the pe’a and malu? Just wondering…

Dang Uce if you gonna put that effort into getting that tattoo then I would be cool with it. Because a big part of the tattoos is that it tells a story. If you can tell that story, then for me, the tattoo would be a beautiful thing because I know someone would ask what your connection is and if you traveled and learned and made a connection then that would be cool with me

only 1 way is you come down to hawaii or samoa you learn the culture and you understand it and people will decide if you can have a samoan tattoo it takes a lot but you gotta show you want it respectfully

Short answer, Yes! Long answer: adopt yourself into a Samoan family including Samoans within your own. That goes for all Pacific tribes. Pick one that you can embrace and join the Ohana through shared love and harmony.

uso mean brother. You probably can get the tattoo but then they will edit it with add in cause it's mainly for full blood Samoan. Yes it's a traditional tattoo not just anyone can get it. It tells a story of our history of how that tattoo came about. So yes respectfully maybe you can or maybe not

This is me with but with Hawaiian culture. I lost the LOML who was Hawaiian close to 4 months ago. He was always encouraging with me wanting to learn his culture as well as getting a tattoo. I’ve been wanting to go about it as respectfully as I can to his culture. I would want to get his tattoo with his ashes in it but not until I have developed a deep understanding of his culture and history in all the ways you mentioned. I’ve started taking Hula classes as a way to start that journey 🌺 May we both be blessed in our journey and hopefully accepted 🤙
