Polynesian, Samoan and Maori tattoos by Antonio Ribeiro

Polynesian, Samoan, and Maori Tattoos by Antonio Ribeiro

Polynesian, Samoan, and Maori tattoos are more than just beautiful body art—they carry profound symbolic significance. Each design tells a story, reflecting important aspects of your life, heritage, or character. These traditional tattoos are marked by patterns symbolizing strength, protection, family, and personal milestones.

Antonio draws inspiration from the diverse styles and techniques of these rich cultural traditions.

These tattoo styles demand not only technical expertise but also a deep understanding of their cultural meaning. Antonio combines this knowledge with his unique artistic approach to create designs that powerfully express your personal story. Before starting any project, he places great importance on in-depth consultations to ensure that all key symbols and meanings are thoughtfully integrated into the design.

A Journey Through Art, Culture and Personal Inspiration

Antonio has showcased his passion and skills at several prestigious tattoo conventions, including Tattoo Week São Paulo, Tattoo Week Rio, and the Shanghai Tattoo Convention. These events not only allowed him to refine his craft but also provided invaluable inspiration from other international artists. These diverse influences shape his distinctive style, turning each tattoo into a true work of art.

Beyond the tattoo chair, Antonio fully embraces his creativity. He loves cooking, has a background in playing the trumpet, and plans to reignite this musical passion. His love for classical music and fascination with motorsports—especially Formula 1—reflect his dynamic and multifaceted personality, qualities that shine through in his artwork.
