Polynesian Guy with Turtle Tattoo

Turtles and shark tooth patterns are common in tattoos from the Polynesian islands of the South Pacific.

This guy at Pasifika in Auckland had a classic South Pacific Polynesian tattoo on his upper arm. If I had arms like that I might even consider some body art. Dreams are free!

This guys Tongan . The red coloring inside the turtle is the Tongan flag...you can also tell where a person is from and which tribe he/she belong to from the tattoo designs they have. In this case...its Tongan.
