Some More Tattoo History

When European travelers returned from Polynesia to Europe they brought with them tales of fabulous skin art & images that had been drawn to show how they had looked. A number of these travellers were even bearing some of these tattoos, people became more and more fascinated with the concept. The sailors especially were keen to try out this new art form.

The sailors and other westerners who visited Polynesia found natives who were skilled in creating tattoos and the sailors were willing subjects. That was until the colonizing missionary’s decided it was unholy and primitive and tried to stop the practice. They only succeeded in diving it underground and not eliminating it. As the Europeans continued to practice the art.

There were technological advances in design and colour and machines, that led to tattooing becoming more available in the U.S. developing a uniquely all American flavour. In 1846 in New York City the first tattoo shop was believed to have been set up by Martin Hildebrandt. Where he began a tradition of inking soldiers both union and rebel, as well as sailors who got tattoos representing battles or significant events. King Edward VII was the first to start the fad among his peers in England when he got a tattoo before he ascended the throne.

It seems the perception of the Polynesians as being more primitive then the Europeans and Americans was some what skewed as they used the art of tattooing to reflect things like loyalty and devotion or to memorialize a heroic battle or simply to make abeautiful piece of enduring art. Which is what the Americans and Europeans did as well.

With the onset of WWII, during the 1940′s, the mood of the country was intensely patriotic. This created a boom for the tattoo artists, as more and more people wanted to represent there country more vividly than at any other time. Soldiers and sailors were the majority of customers who visited the tattoo parlours that seem to spring up all over and by the 1950′s the tattoo industry was an accepted part of western civilization although still somewhat on the fringe of society.

Now that we have entered into the 21st century tattooing has become a legitimate form of art, which appeals to both men and women. There are still some people young and old who are personally against permanently marking there own bodies, but for the ones who make the choice to get inked the options for style and colour and location on the body are only limited by the imagination of the person and the artist.

Handbook of Polynesian Mythology $75 A concise reference source on Polynesia’s complex mythology this book contains an annotated bibliography of the major introductory commentaries on Polynesian mythology and culture and an extensive glossary.

Dictionary of Polynesian Mythology $106.95 Prior to 1500 A.D. the Polynesians were the most widely spread people on earth, having settled an area of the Pacific, the Polynesian Triangle, twice the size of the United States. In this first reference guide to the mythology of these Vikings of the Pacific, Craig reviews Polynesian legends, stories, gods, goddesses, and heroes in hundreds of alphabetical entries that succinctly describe both characters and events. His wide-ranging and thorough introduction sets the subject in its geographic, historical, anthropological, and linguistic contexts, offering an illuminating overview of the origin of the Polynesians as a distinct people and tracing their voyages and settlements from Indonesia to Malaysia, Tonga, Samoa, the Marquesas, the various islands of eastern Polynesia, including Hawaii, Easter Island, and New Zealand. The introduction presents fascinating information on Polynesian navigational skills and the voyages themselves, as well as a chart that details the evolution of the thirty Polynesian languages and compares cognates from several of these languages. A simplified pronunciation guide and a selected list of Polynesian dictionaries and/or grammars are provided for those interested in pursuing the richness of the Polynesian languages. This introductory survey gives readers the necessary background to understand the origin, development, and dispersion of the myths throughout the Pacific basin. The Dictionary of Polynesian Mythology is the result of many years of research. The individual entries were gleaned from nearly 300 sources in English, German, French, and Polynesian languages with the majority extracted from a number of primary sources that date generally in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The printed source materials for this volume are fully described and listed by geographical group, including Maori, Cook Islands, Tahitian, Marquesan, Hawaiian, Samoan, and Tongan. General collections that retell the Polynesian stories are also surveyed. The entries are alphabetically arranged by major mythological figure; lesser characters can be located in the index. Short bibliographical citations–author, date, and page number–are included at the end of each main entry to direct readers to fuller information contained in the printed sources. An appendix provides valuable supplemental information on Polynesian gods and goddesses. This dictionary is sure to become a basic reference tool for libraries, students, and scholars of Pacific history and culture, as well as for courses in mythology, religion, and philosophy.

The Evolution of the Polynesian Chiefdoms $7.98 This is the first study from an archaeological perspective of the elaborate system of chiefdoms found in the islands of Polynesia. While the growth and development of complex social and political systems in this region have long interested anthropologists and ethnographers, only recently have the islands’ rich sources of archaeological data been fully exploited. The author combines these new archaeological data with ethnographic and linguistic materials to present an innovative and perceptive account of the processes of culture change in the islands over three millennia. Using comparative ethnography, lexical reconstruction and direct archaeological evidence, the author reconstructs the broad outlines of Ancestral Polynesian Society, from which the diverse societies of the Polynesian region descended. Major proceeds of cultural change are analysed in detail, including colonization, adaptation to new and changing environments, development of intensive production and social conflict and competition.

Tahiti: Polynesian Peasants and Proletarians $32.48 The Polynesian island of Tahiti is in the imagination an island paradise, an idyllic world inhabited by noble savages, carefree and uncomplicated. Tahiti separates myth from reality. Finney describes and analyzes the forces of change that have confronted Tahiti and its inhabitants in the modern world. As the author notes in the introduction, "Neither isolation in the South Paci c, nor the romantic aura invested in them by philosophers and escapists of the West, has saved Tahitians from intense involvement in the twin processes of industrialization and urbanization."

Typee: A Peep at Polynesian Life $12.48 "Typee: A Peep at Polynesian Life" was Herman Melville’s first novel.

A romanticized travelogue of the Pacific island paradise Nuku Hiva, "Typee" is the story of Tommo, a Yankee sailor and his four month stay on the island. One of Melville’s most popular works during his lifetime, "Typee" gives the reader a captivating look into the cultures and traditions of the natives living in the islands of the South Pacific.

Tupaia: Captain Cook’s Polynesian Navigator $54.98 Tupaia was the brilliant Polynesian navigator and translator who sailed with Captain James Cook from Tahiti, piloted the "Endeavour" across the South Pacific, and interceded on behalf of the European voyagers with the warrior Maori of New Zealand. As a man of high social ranking, Tupaia was also invaluable as an intermediary, interpreting local rituals and ceremonies. Joseph Banks, the botanist with Cook’s expedition, is famous for describing the manners and customs of the Polynesian people in detail. Much of the credit for this information rightfully belongs to Tupaia-indeed, he could aptly be called the Pacific’s first anthropologist. Despite all this, Tupaia’s colorful tale has never been part of the popular Captain Cook legend. This unique book tells the first-contact story with Europeans as seen through the eyes of the Polynesians, and documents how Tupaia’s contributions changed the history of the Pacific.

This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: " THE CREATION SONG " OF HAWAII. By Edward Tregear. the most treasured volumes on my shelves is a book sent to me years ago by His late Majesty Kalakaua, King of Hawaii?himself the author of the work. It was a royal task, for it was the effort to preserve, as printed literature alone can by dispersion preserve, the fast-fading legends embodying the cosmogony and mythology of his people as taught in ancient days, and also pedigrees of high chiefs as sung by the priests of the Heraldic College. But no translation into any European language accompanied the book. Many an hour I pored over the old verses, catching strange glimpses of all sorts of secrets and of mysterious hints as to hidden things that in other island lore were full of broken lights and half-revealed promises. However, every Polynesian student knows how difficult it is, even for a scholar accomplished in the particular dialect under consideration, to fully understand the obsolete speech and mystical allusions in which the old poetry of the Pacific islands abounds. No Hawaiian pundit, no Fornander or Lorrin Andrews was at hand from whom help could be entreated, so, fearing to utterly fall where much more skilful men might stumble, I have abstained from calling attention to the poems, except on one occasion. Light has come from another direction through the issue by Liliuokalani, ex-Queen of Hawaii (and patron of the Polynesian Society) of a translation of one of the principal poems in the King’s book. It is evident, on careful perusal, that even the great scholarship of the authoress has failed to convey to the reader the meaning intended in the original Note.?The Creation of the World: Lee A Shepard, Boston, U.S.A., 1897. words, but this is assuredly inevitable from the nature of the subject.

It is an excellent study in voicing both a single-line melody and chords above the accompaniment. The modal harmonies found throughout create a distinct tropical sound.
