Polynesian style heart tattoo designs

Although hearts aren’t a traditional Polynesian tattoo design, they have become a popular symbol used in tribal tattoos for girls in particular. These four tattoo ideas feature different tribal heart designs, but they all include traditional Polynesian tattoo symbols within the heart design. Polynesian tattoos originated among the people of Polynesia – which is made up of more than 1,000 islands scattered across the southern and central Pacific Ocean – and they were traditionally used to mark the bodies of warriors and people of status within the tribe. Today, Polynesian tattoos are trendy and can be inked on just about anyone, although they are especially popular among people with Polynesian or Hawaiian roots.
