Tribal tattoos hold deep cultural meaning across many AAPI communities, from the Philippines’ ‘Batok’ to the Polynesian ‘Tatau’. These ancient art forms are more than decoration — they symbolize identity, status, bravery, and spiritual connection. Traditionally hand-tapped with tools made from bone or wood, each pattern tells a story of ancestry, resilience, and belonging. Today, these tattoos continue to honor heritage and reclaim Indigenous pride. 🖤⁠ ⁠ #MadRabbit #AAPImonth #Tribaltattoos #maoritattoos #culturaltattoos #tatau #tattoos #tatoocare #tattooaftercare
