      datz rite….thought only Samoans had tattz from dey waist down from way back in da day….came across a book of history n origin of tattooing showing Tongans also practiced same type of ta tatau from dey waist down to the knee…but den it was abolished by dem missionaries n was almost forgotten totally for centuries.

      Why do the people who do these shows never get the History right? If you wanted a Tatau why didn’t he go to Samoa. The Design that was tapped on his thigh is SAMOAN…The Names of the tools that are used is SAMOAN. The Pe’a is SAMOAN and taboo for just Anyone to get. Special rights and ceremonies are performed when getting a Pe’a… Where was the mention of Samoa in this show????
