Fundamentals of Traditional and Modern Polynesian Tattoo Paperback – June 26, 2013

I find this to be a helpful book in learning more about traditional Polynesian symbols. It provides great information. The author has obviously done their research and knows a lot. It provides context, and the perspective comes from an author who is also an artist. Well done.

very good book on history of poly tattooing, was hoping for much more illustrations however

Perfect for the obsessed tattoo artist in your life.

This is a really well made book, full of interesting information. I would recommend to anyone interested in better understanding the Polynesian Tattoo culture.

This is one of the most informative Polynesian tattoo books I have seen and I have a few. I love that it covers history. It breaks down the meanings per symbol/shape. Must have for tattoo artists, history lovers and artists in general. Get it.

A detailed guide with symbols and meanings. I love marquesan tattoo and this book contains a lot of informations about this art. Many thanks to author for the precious work. Absolutely recommend it!

Roland is an awesome artist. This book reflects his passion and knowledge for his art. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to know more.

this book has such depth and explains so much along the polynesian works and is a great recommendation to anyone working with polynesian designs and graphics...

Molto bello, consigliato per chi vuole farsi una cultura. Attenzione però che NON ci sono tavole di disegni grandi, ma solo pezzi piccoli spiegati (bene), simbologia e resto. Non ci sono tavole di disegni interi, è per lo più scritto.Interessante!

Ho preso questo libro in quanto lo trovo ottimo per integrarlo alla mia raccolta sui tribali in particolar modo quelli polinesiani. E' in lingua inglese ma abbastanza semplice da tradurre, può servire da ripasso in molti versi sia per l'inglese se arrugginito come il mio sia per quanto riguarda i vari ed essenziali significati tribali che hanno questi tatuaggi. Tavole utili ed esplicative molto chiare. Utile molto utile!!

Interessantissimo, tanti significati dei simboliti spiega come leggere il tatuaggio e correla i significati con il modo di vivere delle popolazioniOttimo libro

Libro interessante per gli amanti del genere. Principalmente utile per comprendere il significativo di gran parte della simbologia polinesiana. Lo consiglio.
