About tatau
Created by Gods and gifted to Humanity, Tatau is: “Writing the Spirit on the Body…”
It is how I got it, it is how I was taught, and how I’m giving and sharing it… It is all about belief…
“One can give, only if the other one knows how to receive.”

The traditional Tatau experience

Our Process
Receiving traditional ink is a very personal and deep experience regardless of which Polynesian style. Pili Mo’o Tatau has been known for his preservation of the tradition not only in the physical elements of tattooing but also in the symbolic meaning of the patterns and their representation and philosophy. He is also one of the last practitioners to handcraft his tools in order to preserve the sacred traditions and values of tool fabrication.
**Consultation is very important in the sense that each piece is unique and personal.** It is not flash art and no two tattoos created are alike. All of Pili Mo’o Tatau’s art varies as does the people who wear his art. Coming with an intention and vision of what you want your piece to represent is just the beginning…
Finding out who you were, who you are, and who you aspire to become all while incorporating relative patterns and movements is also his gift. Energetically everyone leaves having learned something whether it be about themselves or about the tradition in addition to a powerful and important piece. The tradition is quite the experience waiting to be had.
**Consultations are appointment only and via video chat. It’s a less impersonal method for us to get to know each other prior to sitting in ceremony. **
