Evocative and symbolic designs based on the ancient tradition of Polynesian tattoo art. The beauty of Polynesian art is perhaps most evident in the tradition of Polynesian tattooing, which has existed for more than two thousand years and is infused with rich symbolism and spiritual meaning. Roberto Gemori designs tattoos reflecting this tradition, drawing from each person’s own history of personal struggles, adversities, and triumphs. In his approach to tattoo art, Gemori takes the meaningful moments of a person’s life story and weaves them into a creative design, such that the tattoo itself becomes a form of personal empowerment, representing qualities a person is working to cultivate in their life and challenges they have overcome. The author presents here modern tattoo designs inspired by Polynesian art to color and contemplate for inspiration and transformation. In addition to a short introduction on Polynesian art and symbolism, the book features 42 designs for coloring, each accompanied by a description of the image’s unique meaning. Color these stunning designs and discover the depth of Polynesian art!

"Jean Tekura Mason's poetry reflects her life as a person living in two worlds - Polynesian and European. Some of her poems are reflective. Others are glib (and deliberately so). There is humour and there is passion - of love and hate, pagan faiths and Christian beliefs, ancestors and dancers, customs and politics, migrants and immigrants, and Pacific flora and fauna - all have stimulated Ms Mason to put pen to paper. At times incisive and descriptive, and at others deeply moging, this book is a collection of poems which is both retrospective perceptive"--Back cover

The underlying idea of the "Big Book of Small Tattoos" project, which is shared throughout all books in the series, is that small tattoos can be highly meaningful and original despite their small size: the significance of a tattoo is not decided by its size, and even the smallest design can carry a great meaning. This third volume was inspired by our love for Polynesia and its tattoos and cultures. Each small to minimal design is a statement, embodying an aspect or trait from the Pacific islands, and carrying a memory of palm trees, sun, thriving ocean life and sandy beaches. Mantas Turtles Sharks Whales Dolphins Seashells Waves Fish hooks Tropical flowers Guardian spirits Palm trees Sun, moon and stars all of them and many more found their way into this book as they immediately come to mind when thinking about Polynesia You can customise each one by adding a bit of color or by joining a few designs together to have a special tattoo that tells your love for the ocean, sandy beaches and palm trees of Polynesia.
