What are the designs for Samoan tattoos?

It depends. A traditional Samoan tattoo design can be passed down from generations in a family and/or village. Back in the old days, each family and village in Samoa had their own design to distinguish themselves from other villagers and familes. All traditional Samoan tattoos come with a meaning and/or symbolism of some sort. Whether it tells the story of ones ancestors or the story of the dreams of the familys' future.
