Tricia Allen
has harnessed
centuries of knowledge regarding Hawaiian tattoo and has created
this fascinating, comprehensive reference book that can be enjoyed
by both tattoo enthusiasts and cultural scholars.
Tattoo Traditions of Hawaii
describes the evolution of
Hawaiian tattooing as an art and science tracing it from its early
roots in ancient Polynesia. Allen’s work presents motif, meaning, and placement, as well as tools and techniques on the ancient art, and includes a number of previously unpublished original illustrations. The contemporary art is chronicled by personal observations and commentary from prominent members of the Hawaiian community including Keali’i Reichel, Charles Ka’upu, and Hokulani Holt-Padilla.
