Tattooing is to Polynesia what maple syrup is to Quebec: a pillar of cultural identity.
Almost everyone here has a tattoo. The word "tattoo" comes from the local language and is related to Rome… So I took the opportunity to get my first tattoo: a turtle. A powerful symbol in their mythology, it represents for me slow travel, traveling at a human pace.
My tattoo artist, Félix, speaks to us with passion about his profession.
