Kalia Tattoo

The advent of Christianity in Tonga witnessed the loss of several indigenous practices such as the practice of tatatau or tattooing. Although the art of tattooing was retained in the nation of Samoa, it was completely erased in Tonga. However, the art and practice of tattooing has been enjoying a revival in Tonga in recent years. This is a result of the work of scholars, researchers, visual artists and tattoo artists such as the Cocker brothers. Their knowledge of Polynesian art and culture, specifically the art and tradition of tattooing, has influenced and inspired their approach to reviving the art and practice of Tongan tattoo.
