Dating back centuries, the Samoan 'tatau', from which the word tattoo is said to originate, is regarded as a rite of passage for many Samoans. jillgralow joins Oliver Fagalilo, as a Samoan artist etches a traditional tattoo on Fagalilo's body. More here:
APIA, Samoa - Oliver Fagalilo takes a labored breath and tenses his body before a sharp steel comb, dipped in ink, drives into his skin.
Now a resident of New Zealand, Fagalilo, 39, and his sister Sharlene, 34 and living in Australia, returned to the Samoan capital of Apia to get their tattoos together, supported by their extended family. “It’s considered a huge shame upon your family and that burden is carried through to your children, your children’s children, up until somebody in your family finishes the tattoo in your honor,” he said.
