Rosemary,

I'm sure some member may be able to provide you with greater detail, but an interesting book I've recently read by Mark Blackburn titled 'Tattoos from Paradise' provides many accounts of artwork, including tattoos and tikis. Many of the accounts are from members of Captain Cook's expeditions to polynesia. If you haven't gathered yet, as a group we are more interested in the cheesy, western-civilization's bastardization of all things tiki as opposed to the sociological aspect of said topic.

Good luck.
