Polynesian, Samoan and Maori tattoos by Antonio Ribeiro

Polynesian, Samoan, and Maori Tattoos

Polynesian, Samoan, and Maori tattoos are much more than aesthetic artwork—they are deeply symbolic. Each design tells a story, reflecting significant aspects of your life, heritage, or character. These traditional tattoos are characterized by patterns symbolizing strength, protection, family, and personal milestones.

Antonio draws inspiration from the styles and techniques of these cultures.

Creating these tattoos demands not only technical skill but also a profound understanding of their cultural significance. Antonio combines this knowledge with his own artistic vision to craft designs that powerfully express your unique story. Before beginning any project, he places great emphasis on detailed consultations to ensure that every essential symbol and its meaning is thoughtfully incorporated into the design.

A Journey Through Art, Culture, and Personal Inspiration

Antonio Ribeiro has showcased his passion and skill at several prestigious tattoo conventions, including Tattoo Week São Paulo, Tattoo Week Rio, and the Shanghai Tattoo Convention. These events have not only allowed him to refine his craft but also to draw inspiration from other international artists. These diverse influences shape his unique style, ensuring that each of his tattoos is a high-quality work of art.

Beyond the tattoo chair, Antonio channels his creativity into various pursuits. He has a love for cooking, previously played the trumpet—and plans to pick it up again—and has a passion for classical music. He’s also fascinated by motorsports, particularly Formula 1. These varied interests reflect his multifaceted personality, which is evident in his work as well.
