tattoo lesson
Mar 5 
it's been far too long since the last design roundup so enjoy this little show & tell of polynesian tattoo design made for the modern age.
1 - good china gets a maori makeover with this swoon worthy 18-piece porcelain dinnerware set.
2 - since h|h last checked in with manoatoa, the polynesian tee company has continued to release fresh designs inspired by the art and culture of the pacific islands. the newest design is the eye catching mata tee with a cool wraparound graphic.
3 - readers loved the mix of wall sticks featured in 2007 so here's a tribal twist via scribble's tahitian series.
of course, all of these modern interpretations are rooted in the past so click over to youtube to see a fascinating video of the traditional tapping method. the clip is from skin stories, a pbs documentary which aired a few years back that chronicles the history of tattooing throughout polynesia (dvd copies are available at native books in ward warehouse).
