"Being humble" & Reviving Tongan Tātatau (Tattooing) with Su'a Suluape Aisea Toetu'u
- Description:
- What does it mean to wear the tattoos/markings of your culture? What, if any, are the responsibilities to these markings? Why was Tongan tattooing lost? In this episode we talanoa (talk) with Tongan tufunga tātatau (tattoo artist) Su'a Suluape Aisea Toetu'u about the history of the Tongan tātatau, its significance in pre-Chrisitan Tongan society and his efforts in reviving this art of tattooing amongst Tongans. Additionally, we give our thoughts on a recent reel that has gone viral calling for New Zealand born Samoans to "be humble".
