ON THE WEB
Some spectacular Maori arts are available online at http://www.kiwiartz.co.nz/ Spend some time with the various links. There are some very nice, affordable things!
If you're looking for Marquesan tattoo sites, see http://www.tiki-styles.de/EN/index.htm Beware! There are some pretty explicit pop-ups! Don't let your kids open this site. It is a very well done, and is fun to navigate,but the motif identification (which comes from Karl von den Steinen) is questionable, in some cases. Von den Steinen did not understand the use of double vowels and glottal stops in Polynesian languages-- for example in Hawaiian, pua means flower, whereas pua'a means pig!
Anyway, be skeptical of the motif meanings given. A great website full of interesting info on Hawai'i is http://www.hinaadventures.com/ Take a look, especially if you are planning a Hawai'i trip.
