Maori styled animals

1. Iconic fusion: Western animals with Polynesian lines
The magazine Idea Tattoo proposed us to rethink some animals that are traditionally present in western tattoos, reinventing them in Maori style, joining thus classic iconography and the lines and suggestions of Polynesian cultures.
The result of this collaboration is a series of 8 pages grouping various animals according to the element they live in, starting from the three fundamental elements of every Polynesian culture, Sky, Earth and Sea and adding a fourth element, Fire, as a tribute to western and Asian cultures.
Each element has been published in a different issue of the magazine and on our site.
2. The elemental collection: Air, Earth, Water, and Fire
Explore the complete collection of custom cross-cultural designs below, organized by their natural elements and original print publication timeline.
