Samoan-inspired tattoos in Stuttgart

Geometric bands and compositions shaped around the body: Samoan-inspired tattoos by FRANKNABE in Stuttgart. Explore the portfolio and enquire about your project.

Pattern and body shape

These pieces bring geometric bands, contrast and repeated shapes together in a composition for the chosen placement. The portfolio includes examples on the arm, shoulder and chest.

Naming the inspiration respectfully

I describe this work as Samoan-inspired. This does not claim a traditional tatau ceremony or cultural authority. If a motif’s origin or meaning matters to you, raise it in your enquiry.

Your enquiry

Include the placement, intended coverage and one or two portfolio pieces whose composition you like. We use those as a starting point for a personal direction, rather than copying an existing piece.
