I want to get a tattoo, but I want to know all of the Tiki gods, what they look like, and what they represent, but I cannot find a web site that has any other gods other than Ku, kane, Kanaloa, and Lono. I believe there are some other tiki gods out there suck as the god of surf, the god of music. Can anyone PLEASE guide me to a website that may have some information on all of the Tiki gods, their name, and hopefully their history? I REALLY appreciate any help! Thank you!

Aloha KanaloaDude, and welcome to Tiki Central!

You have listed the main Gods I have read about in the Polynesian culture. There are other Hawaiian based gods and goddesses such as Pele and her sisters, but the Polynesians never had a God for particular duties such as surf, money, good luck, etc. Their Gods covered a wide variety of sectors, and weren't as divided up like the Roman and Greek Gods were.

The manufactures of Tiki trinkets would like you to believe there were many more Gods and they had specific duties. Don't believe them.

Good Luck in your investigation.
