Christmas came early for me this year, spent 11hrs at the tattoo shop last night. 3hrs for hand-drawing, and the rest under the gun... I should have eaten lunch. I've always wanted a Polynesian tribal tattoo, but I wanted to honor my Filipino heritage even though I think the Tahitian and Maori styles rock. Most of the pre-contact tattoos were mainly just geometrically repeating patterns, but a lot of the post-contact and modern Polynesian tattoos are simply amazing.
