What types of Polynesian tattoos does IslandTAT create?

We specialize in full sleeves, half sleeves, chest panels, leg compositions, back pieces, shoulder caps, and focused single-session designs. Every piece is designed freehand using documented Polynesian motifs.

How is the work in this gallery selected?

Every image is IslandTAT work that has been reviewed by the studio before it is published. The gallery shows selected pieces across placements — sleeves, chest panels, leg compositions and back work.

Can I get a tattoo similar to one in the portfolio?

Every IslandTAT tattoo is one-of-a-kind. You can draw inspiration from our portfolio, but your design will be custom-created freehand for your body and story. Start by requesting a consultation.

What's the difference between fresh and healed tattoo photos?

Fresh tattoo photos show the work immediately after completion — colors are vibrant but skin may be red or swollen. Healed photos (typically 4-6 weeks later) show how the tattoo settles into the skin with natural saturation. We include both to give you realistic expectations.
