Hawaiian Tribal Tattoos<\/strong> are considered a blend of today\u2019s popular tribal designs blended with traditional Hawaiian symbolism. The two styles complemented each other and created this new style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some information about Hawaiian tribal tattoos and symbolism will help if you plan a custom design with your tattoo artist. Popular symbols of Hawaii are mostly Hawaiian Gods in the form of a tiki or an animal form. Animal forms include turtles, dolphins, flowers, geckos, sharks, owls, and hawks. With flowers, the only option is Hibiscus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In keeping with the\u00a0Polynesian style tattoos<\/a>, the ancient Hawaiian tribal tattoos were geometric in design, using triangles, squares, and rectangles. The resurgence in recent decades of native pride has contributed to the evolution of the ancient Hawaiian tribal tattoos to include masks, tikis, flowers, and animals believed to represent certain gods in the tribal design. You can almost imagine your custom-designed tattoo as being designed with symbols you\u2019ve chosen and then create it using those shapes or variations of those shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
