Hawaiian Tattoo Designs

Hawaiian Tattoo Designs
the idea of Hawaiian tattoo designs inspires images of hula dancers, leis, and hibiscus flowers.  These three symbols are associated with Hawaii and Hawaiian cultures.  They are popular tattoo motifs.  Women in particular are drawn to the exotic beauty of the hibiscus.  For many, they associate the flower with summer and fun.  Hibiscus tattoos look tropical, feminine, and delicate.  They can be any number of colors, but are often tattooed in pinks, oranges, yellows, and reds.  These colors harken to the warmth and heat of summer.  They also contrast the green leaves of the plant which are sometimes included in the flower tattoo design.  The hibiscus plant and flower is important in Hawaiian culture.

There is no doubt that Polynesian and Pacific tattooing influenced this art in Europe. This art is found in the Marquesian Islands, New Zealand, Hawaii, Samoa, The Cook Islands, French Polynesian, Tahiti, Easter Island, and Tonga. The Pacific Rim and Southeast Asia are also included in this area.
