IslandTAT Designs
We're always developing new IslandTAT designs, with limited-edition drops released as the artwork is ready. Each release has its own story and ordering window. Stay connected and join our email list to hear when a new design is ready to order.
No filler. Each shirt is a piece of Polynesian storytelling we believe in.
Each drop opens for its own ordering window. Order while it's open.
We focus on tattoos. Limited shirts let us protect the meaning behind each piece.
IslandTAT designs are released as limited-edition drops, each with its own story and ordering window. New designs open as the artwork is ready — check this page or join the email list for the newest release. Once a window closes, we ship every order together and the design is archived; it may return later in a different style or colorway.
Every design we put on a shirt has meaning and tells a story. We'd rather make fewer shirts and protect what they carry than print at volume. Our craft is tattoos and being good stewards of the culture — these limited drops help us stay there. If you see something you connect with, order while you can.
Looking for something we have in stock? Email info@islandtat.com and we'll help you directly.
Next Legends Drop
Legends Series · Drop 02
Drop 02 turns toward Guam and one of the island's most remembered stories. Original artwork by IslandTAT Senior Artist Maddy Tellez is still in development — the story comes first. Read the legend now; the artwork reveal comes before the limited preorder opens.
Limited pre-order
Open for its own ordering window, then archived.
One-of-a-kind package
Every order ships with a printed legend write-up and a Legends Series sticker.
Made with care
Once orders close we focus on each shirt so it feels personal, not mass-produced.

The Legends Archive
Every IslandTAT tee is released as a limited-edition drop with its own ordering window. Once the window closes, the design is archived. Here's the wall of past drops — the ones whose windows have already closed.
Don't miss the next one. A new Legend is being prepared.
Legends Series · Drop 01
The inaugural Legends drop honors the Samoan legend of the Turtle and the Shark — a story of sacrifice, transformation, and the sacred bond between family and the sea. Printed on a heavyweight tee and released as a limited pre-order.
