Las Marquesas are a group of Polynesian’s Islands which depends of Tahiti. Times ago, this archipelago was known like “The “Queen of tattoos” and mariners liked make tattoos in these islands.
The tradition of making tattoos is a sign of the identity for the people from Las Marquesas. They believe, tattoos make people more honourable. In fact, anciently men had heir body completely tattooed. Tattoos were a sing of power and social position and the mainly motives of tattoos were tribal tattoos, animals like turtles or antics soldiers.
Generally, people from Las Marquesas prefer black and white tattoos like their traditional tattoos. Most of then have more than one tattoo, in fact they add tattoos in their body for different reasons like superstition or because they are looking for their own identity but, curiously, today most of then don’t know what they mean.
Nowadays, tattoo is also a tourist reclaiming. In front of people from Las Marquesas, tourists prefer colours tattoos. They look for original draws and noticeable tattoos and, evidently, economic tattoos.
