Location & Date:  Doris Duke Theater - Saturday, April 29th at 11 a.m.

 

About her book, Tattoo Traditions of Hawai‘i:  Tricia Allen has harnessed centuries of knowledge about Hawaiian tattoos and has created a fascinating, comprehensive reference book that can be enjoyed by both tattoo enthusiasts and cultural scholars. Tattoo Traditions of Hawaii describes the evolution of Hawaiian tattooing as an art and science tracing it from its early roots in ancient Polynesia. Allen’s work presents motif, meaning, placement, tools and techniques on the ancient art, and includes a number of previously unpublished original illustrations. The contemporary art is chronicled by personal observations and commentary from prominent members of the Hawaiian community. Her book will be available for purchase at the Academy shop on April 29.
