Hawaiian tattoos are also known as tribal tattoos or Polynesian tattoos. Hawaii is a beautiful island in the South of the Pacific Ocean. It is a host to beautiful beaches, clear waters, scenic beauty and beautiful tattoos. Tattoos have been an intricate part of the history and culture of Hawaii. The residents of Hawaii used to sport tattoos since very early times.

Getting a tattoo is very fashionable nowadays. Though tattoos were not always meant for purposes of fashion only, traditionally warriors and fighters in Hawaii sported these tattoos to denote rank or position. These tattoos were a symbol of stature and power for those men. On the other hand, women had beautiful decorative tattoos, almost like permanent embellishments

The most popular Hawaiian tattoos for women are the Hawaiian flower tattoo. The picturesque island of Hawaii has a large variety of gorgeous flowers. The Hawaiian flower tattoo is representative of the beauty of this island and its flowers. The Hawaiian flower tattoo is usually tattooed in bright colors. Even though traditionally tribal tattoos are in black, Hawaiian flower tattoos are seen in color. Sometimes these tattoos are combined with a black tribal pattern base and a bright Hawaiian flower tattoo in contrast to it.

The most popular Hawaiian flower tattoos are of the Hawaii state flower, the hibiscus. Other tropical flower tattoos seen in Hawaii are of the Orchid flower, the Bird of Paradise and the Rose flower tattoo. These Hawaiian flower tattoos are mostly etched on the small of the back, the ankle, and the shoulder. Since the Hawaiian flower tattoo patterns are small and delicate, the sizes of the tattoos are not very large.

Unlike other tribal tattoos, Hawaiian flower tattoos do not have much philosophical meaning. They primarily symbolize beauty, paradise, femininity, life and color. The popular colors of the Hawaiian flower tattoos are red, yellow, pink, peach, blue and white.
