WHY HAVE A SAMOAN TATTOO

The Samoan belief of its traditional Tattoo is that only the High Chiefs and chiefs who are known as orators, along with their sons or daughters are allowed to have tatau or malu. These sons and daughters have to serve and witness meetings amongst the chiefs, as they act as guards and minders. This tradition of Samoa has faded and somewhat been relaxed as anyone can be tattooed today. As a matter of fact, by having a Samoan tattoo, there is a huge responsibility for serving the family in any aspect, the villages, the country, and the church as well. http://www.tattoo-samoan.com/why-have-samoan-tattoo.html.
