BUZZY I find your previous post somewhat passive/ aggressive... but none the less humorous. Seriously, I don't care if you draw tattoo designs... Doodle until your heart grows wings. However, to call the drawings a Polynesian tattoo is a slap in the face to Polynesian ancestry. Zaya: To learn more about traditional tattooing, look up the Anthropologist Tricia Allen. She is an American woman who studied Polynesian Tattooing for many years. In fact, before she creates a tattooed pattern she researches an individual’s life history. She is a great tattoo artist and very repsectful of Polynesian culture. So you see, tattoos tell the story of peoples lives... to copy them is the real plagiarism. No worries! Peace out! Buzzin out!
