The history of Polynesian tattoo and Tamanu

In Polynesian cosmogony, RAU HOTU TAHITI, designates the world of fragrant, sweet and beneficial flowers and plants, with colorful green valleys and miraculous fruits. It is the fragrant Paradise, a place of abundance, well-being and purification to meet the Gods and live with them in trust, friendship and good health.


The Tahitian Tattoo: A Sacred Heritage

Tattoos in Tahiti are more than just body decoration. They are the reflection of a culture deeply rooted in Polynesian mythology. The term "tattoo" comes from the Tahitian word "tatau", showing the importance of this tradition in Polynesian society. Tattoos were used to indicate rank, mark important life moments, and honor gods and ancestors.

Polynesian legends tell stories where gods wore intricate tattoos, symbolizing their power and authority. These tattoos served as a model for tribal leaders, warriors and priests, creating a link between the spiritual world and the human world. Geometric patterns, natural elements like fern leaves, and animal totems like sharks and turtles were common in these tattoos.

Tahitian tattooing was not just aesthetic; it was loaded with meaning. Each symbol, each motif had a specific meaning, often linked to protection, fertility or prosperity. It is this rich history that makes Tahitian tattooing so captivating to tattoo enthusiasts around the world.

Tamanu Oil: A Traditional Remedy for Post-Tattoo Care

Tamanu oil, a unique natural ingredient from Tahiti, plays a crucial role in post-tattoo care. For generations, Tahitians have used this oil for its medicinal properties. It is extracted from the nuts of the Tamanu tree, which grows abundantly in the Polynesian islands.

What makes Tamanu oil so special is its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and healing properties. After a tattoo, the skin is vulnerable, and it requires delicate care to avoid infections and promote rapid healing. Tamanu Oil acts as a natural healing balm, helping to reduce inflammation, soothe the skin and stimulate the healing process.

Using Tamanu oil for tattoo aftercare is not a recent trend; it has been part of Tahitian traditions for centuries. The ancient Tahitians knew that this oil could protect tattoos while promoting rapid and healthy healing. This traditional knowledge continues to influence modern tattoo care, highlighting the importance of natural products.
