Polynesian Tattoos

The world of Polynesian and Maori tattoos has been thrown into the limelight in the last few years, firstly by Robbie William and more lately (and quite probably more suitably) by The Rock, the famous film star and wrestler who has an impressive design which is intricate, large and tells a rather in-depth life story, which is just what these tattoos have always been about.

The image below is a great example of modern Polynesian style tattoos and although perhaps lacking the cultural authenticity of some, the work shown at The Polynesian Tattoo Factory is nonetheless inspired and very well done!

Westlife Anyone? No? Really?

Westlife Portraits Tattoo

Well, the tributes to musical geniuses keep appearing. Like the Britney tattoo, this one has to be commended for it’s sheer quality and taste. The ‘Avante Garde harmonies’ (that’s singing out of tune, to you and me) of Westlife really are a cause for celebration.

The identity of the wearer has been obscured for humanitarian reasons.

All I can say is well done to the owner if this tattoo, it is absolutely brilliant.

Britney Spears is an undisputed musical genius and her rise and fall deserves to be commemorated in this way. The Chinese ribs caught between her teeth effect is spot on, too. I really wish I’d thought of this first, though.

Oh well.

Stroll on.
