Review: Great educational book for knowing your tattoos - This is a must have for tattoo artist that plan on doing polynesian tattoos. You really need to know what the symbols mean before you put ink on anyone. Not to mention it's just plain respect for the history and art of tattooing. I bought the 2nd book but when it downloaded it was nothing but codes for printing the book or some weird crap . Waiting for the company to fix their info then I will buy it again. I was reimbursed for my book. Review: Exactly what I was looking for - This book is really great for someone wanting to create their own tattoo. I'm currently designing my own tradtional hawaiian tattoo and this is helping me so much. It give you details of polynesian tattoos, such as meaning of placement on the body, as well as the different "symbols". Teaches you how to create/breakdown a tattoo. How to incorprate what you want into the tattoo (i.e. like if you want to represent family, what symbol to use). I would definatly reccomend this book. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #519,698 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #36 in Men's Grooming & Style #72 in Oceania History #187 in Body Art & Tattoo | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 693 Reviews | ## Images ![The POLYNESIAN TATTOO Handbook: Practical guide to creating meaningful Polynesian tattoos - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61bZMucyC8L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great educational book for knowing your tattoos *by C***W on October 26, 2021* This is a must have for tattoo artist that plan on doing polynesian tattoos. You really need to know what the symbols mean before you put ink on anyone. Not to mention it's just plain respect for the history and art of tattooing. I bought the 2nd book but when it downloaded it was nothing but codes for printing the book or some weird crap . Waiting for the company to fix their info then I will buy it again. I was reimbursed for my book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly what I was looking for *by K***Z on September 28, 2012* This book is really great for someone wanting to create their own tattoo. I'm currently designing my own tradtional hawaiian tattoo and this is helping me so much. It give you details of polynesian tattoos, such as meaning of placement on the body, as well as the different "symbols". Teaches you how to create/breakdown a tattoo. How to incorprate what you want into the tattoo (i.e. like if you want to represent family, what symbol to use). I would definatly reccomend this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just what I needed *by M***A on March 1, 2018* I’m part Hawaiian, specifically 25%, which is a rather large hunk of my DNA. The only thing is, I’m as pale as paper with natural red hair. I want to show pride in my heritage, but living in Texas, there aren’t that many reliable Polynesian artists. I bought this book to get better insight on how to style my tattoo. If I can find inspiration on how I want my tattoo to look, I can sketch it out, so then all the tattoo artist will have to do is clean it up and help me adjust the design to fit my body. This book is informative, with specific details, and has the traditional bold Polynesian style. If these tattoos are your thing, I highly recommend a copy of this. ## Frequently Bought Together - The POLYNESIAN TATTOO Handbook: Practical guide to creating meaningful Polynesian tattoos - The POLYNESIAN TATTOO Handbook Vol.2: An in-depth study of Polynesian tattoos and of their foundational symbols - Polynesian Tattoos: 42 Modern Tribal Designs to Color and Explore --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/2606386-the-polynesian-tattoo-handbook-practical-guide-to-creating-meaningful-polynesian](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/2606386-the-polynesian-tattoo-handbook-practical-guide-to-creating-meaningful-polynesian) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-02*
