Tamina Instagram – When I was 8 years old living in La’ie, Hawaii my Dad and Mom had the High Chiefs from Safotulafai, Savai’i come and use our garage to do the traditional pe’a Tatau (tatoo). It was the first time I ever saw the traditional way of being tattooed and seeing them using the Samoan tapping style. I was amazed at how it was done and all I knew was that one day I was gonna get one too!!!😍🌺🖤🤎 Like Dad always said “It always has to be the right timing.” So years later who would’ve ever thought I’d meet @samoan_mike in Tampa, FL and him being the amazing man he is, designed the perfect tatoo just for me. Mike is truly one of the best in the world. I wanted to represent both my Fijian and Samoan culture and a little something for my kids!!My Dad who was born in Suva, Fiji and my Mom who was born in Fa’ala Palauli, Savai’i have always taught me my culture and to be proud of where we came from. They taught me to always remember our ancestors and the sacrifices they went through to get me where I am today!!! VINAKA Fa’afetai @samoan_mike🙏🏽This is my little journey of my first TATOO🤎🖤 CheeeeHoooo🔥🤟🏽 . . . Sacred Tatau: @samoan_mike Song: @f1j1 “Lomai Naleca (Opening Chant)”
