Marks of Art..



Suluape Aisea Toetuu, doing what he does best..the Traditional Tatau.

Tattoos have served as rites of passage, marks of status and rank, symbols of religious and spiritual devotion, decorations for bravery, sexual lures and marks of fertility, pledges of love, punishment, protection, and as the marks of outcasts, slaves and convicts. Either love it or hate it, it's a addicting art form.
