If so, the problem with Hawaiian Ephemera (humans are temporary wouldn't you know) is that out of all Poly groups they were decimated the fastest due to the British and american pineapple industry bringing in diseases from N.Amer, Europe Asia and even Puerto Rico nearly simultaneously. There are only afew drawings of real Traditional Hawaiian tattoos in existence due to this fact. Over 90% of native Hawaiians died in a generation. However you might find what you are looking for on googlescholar.net. Try Hawaiian tatoo or somesuch, if not lemmie know, I have a friend who did a research project on Hawaiian tattoo, poor fella only found a few pix hisself. Good luck, Sneaky.
