TATOO THINKING
I think cultural tattoos mean something very special and in that tattoos, there is a special meaning for those like the Maori. The Maoris have a very cultural tattoo that's similar to the culture. Tongan and Samoan have their own similar pattern for tattoos. They get theirs on their legs, arms, back, stomach, chest and nearly everywhere.
Questions
2. Who is the first ever Samoan and Tongan to get their culture tattoo?

(Samoan)
Facts!!
Male and female tattoos have different names in Samoan. The word for male tattoo is pe' a, which means flying fox and refers to the dark charcoal color of the tattoo. ... The word for a female tattoo is malu, which means to be protected and sheltered.

(Tongan)
Facts!!
While traditional tattooing has existed in Polynesia for over two thousand years, each nation has its unique history, style, and tradition when it comes to body art.
The Pacific island cluster of Tonga, in particular, has a long and complicated relationship to its traditional tattoos that have only begun to re-emerge as popular designs in the last 20 years.

(Maori)
Fact!!
A moko on the face is the ultimate statement of one's identity as a Māori. The head is believed to be the most sacred part of the body. To wear the moko on the face is to bear an undeniable declaration of who you are.
