Tattoos are a very important part of the rich Hawaiian culture. Hawaiian tattoos are used to identify a person's tribe and also as a means to express one's self. Tattooing is also a kind of celebration in Hawaii.

Unlike their modern counterparts where latest tools and equipment for tattoo art are used, Hawaiian tattoos only use what nature has to offer-birds' sharp claws and pointed beaks, and huge fish bones. Before, Hawaiian tattoos only have shapes and patterns for their designs but recently, they also use pictorial designs such as animals, flowers, etc.

Hawaiian tattoos are considered as status symbols. You can determine the hierarchy of people in Hawaii by observing Hawaiian tattoos. The more elaborate the tattoos are and the more they are in quantity, the person is more likely to has a high position in the Hawaiian society.

Hawaiian tattoos for women were not considered as taboo even in the old days. Hawaiian women had designs which are specifically drawn on their hands, feet, calves, and fingers. They can also wear facial tattoos such as Hawaiian tattoos on their cheeks, chin, and brow arc.

For Hawaiian males, their tattoos are much more intricately done than females because it is a sign of power and significance in their tribes.

Almost all Hawaiian tattoos have meanings, unlike their neighboring islands. So make sure that you choose the best design on for yourself with the appropriate meaning that will tell who you really are. It has also been said by experts in the matter that Hawaiian tattoos are used fro self expression
