Being tongan and married to a samoan i hope my son grows up to get a Pe'a one day and be a traditional samoan like his dad:) HUGE MOTIVATION and INSPIRIATION:) ps Falaniko was my tutor for pac100:)
The man! He himself inked my dad and uncles. His sons inked my brothers, sisters and myself with the malu and the tatau. One of the most greatest decisions I have ever made!
Paulo Sulu'ape was my grandfather and died from his wife. I'm so sad that he died i wished i could see him. May He Rest In Peace. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Right..when I heard about that,I was like sheesh..but thank you for your guys family line for keeping this Polynesian tradition alive all these years..may he Rest in Paradise..❤

Malo Fesola'i, make our Village proud, fa'afetai Su'a!
Doesn anybody know where I could find the first song in the video! I absolutely LOVE IT!!
Ma parents busted out in random freakn Siva wen that song started playing lmao
Wuia Hi cous Niko! Mad love from Samauga n Apia #MaroonBoyz lol
i love samoan culture
does anybody know the first pese?! please!
don't take the literal meaning, its just a sign or recognition of respect we give to Samoans who go through their tatau,.
What’s the name of the first song please
Malo a faamalosi :) got my malu in 08 and I don't regret it at all :)
when i go do mine im going to do it like my father in law, he went by himself no support and came back home with it, all the time we had no idea what he was doing over thea in samoa, he just told us he was going for a holiday, my mother in law was worried n pissed off cos she wanted to be thea to support n him being old school he sed its like he was going to the shops to buy food and come bck lol
Kin Slayer idiot
AreLL bro, samoans back in the days in the kuabacks are that koa they go in by themselves, but people nowadays like yourself need hands to hold onto every step of the way
Right on! Exactly what my grandpa did, just went on his own (walked an hour there and back) and got it done like it was no big deal :) Back in the 70's, thats loko right there.
hardout, thats balls man, i said to him why he didnt tell the family, friends and the faifeau about it so they can come and support, he was like, "a'e maimau kaimi", "whats important is what is in your heart, if you believe you are koa inside your heart and god is with you then you dont need people there to make you koa a?" then i slowly backed out of the room before he starts rattling on for hours lol
And thats the truth. Nowadays we need an audience for it to be legit lol There was more meaning to it back then, all you needed was the loko to do it and blessings after its done haha. Good luck to you if you get yours. I would love to get a malu when the time is right and when my fa'asamoa is 100% otherwise my grandpa will just tell me to malolo and ka my guku first lol.
whats the song?
The music at 13:43 Whats the title of that song
That is right ,and not every one have tattoos butook isike a game
@skeevytominiko10 hahahaha yeah that one...lol green shack..lol had to wait for them so i could finish mine..lol but man big ups to them for doing it though

The song lyrics changes (but rhythm stays the same) according to wherever/whoever the song is being sung towards.

Lotofaga woot woot! #SitagataKuresa
Much respect to all Samoan they had our backs in late 1979 against african american and.mexican much respect from a Filipino the other cultures never disrespected us because of the samoan sad case they chose the gangster life and ended up in prison was it worth it to me no but they are respected for that purpose by all culture but it was wasted years they could had a family life can not be rewined must respect ps our native tribe igarot indigenous filipino does this style of tatoo she is a legend she 100 years old still tatooing she is famous on youtube much respect to all the samoan youtube BADJAO sea gypsies filipino islander who lives in the ocean blue waters and a large community and never like to go on land they are muslim from tawi tawi island basilan island and the sulu seas they make large ships by hand and dive 100 feet and stay under water for 10 minutes and live island life like they did for centuries some of the people look samaon and they speak austronesian language filipino language is austronesian we were just colonized by the Spaniard that is why we lost our austronesian Heritage im suprise our melanesian filipino negritos AETA dont tatoo themselves like the igarot tribe in the Philippines islands
sole show some respect.
really want to get one im only 11 but i think of getting it on 18
How can I search for a Pe'a tatau artist?
Google. Suluape Tatau
Search: stop trying to be a samoan and be proud of your own culture..
I'm not insecure, i don't need a tatau to show that I understand our culture. I've learnt to pick and choose parts of our culture that i see fit to be good and relevant for my family. Tatau, amongst other facets of Samoana isn't one of them.
Why?
How do you pick and choose ? So you're only a half hearted Samoan ? Hmmm don't see any logic in that lol
@@bettytetamanu8657 we dont need tatau to be full hearted. I know lots of samoan chiefs that don't have the tatau cause of religion. Its is something that people get to feel and understand their culture more.
It's not only about being insecure.. it's about inheritance and participation of a traditional custom..
THEDON FONZ the dude probably can’t handle it lmaoo fiapoko
being ignorant of your culture is what makes you un-manly in your cultures eyes. thats exactly what suluape explained. getting a pe'a it symbolizes that you have understood the meaning and importance of it, and our culture. the pe'a being an outward expression of your knowledge and bravery. Samoans can still show their love, bravery, and understanding of their culture by other means, such as being a good father! so you're doing good i guess, but dont blame your culture from your insecurities
Talofa i le aufofoga
The Suluape Black is great for the au but horrible for tattoo machines :)
I want to be the first female with a Mlofie...my great uncle's wishes.
Gasper Bell do it
Some other lady already has it
thanks for crushing my dream lol
Why do females always wanna do male stuff? Get a malu
I was ahh invited to Las Vegas ahahaha Malo le Las Vegas

I hear that you have to get a Tatau in order for you to become a Matai?
Uce28 No You Don't Have To
No, you can become a Matai without a pe'a.
You can get ka'd (tattoo'd) before you get a chief title - your a taulealea *untitled man
Back in the olden days, it wasn't really chiefs who got the peʻa done but more so the tauleʻaleʻas/untitled man. It is significant to have a peʻa as a matai cause most do (as they once were a tauleʻaleʻa) but personally I think it isn't needed to be a matai. Although there is a saying "tā muamua le gutu"meaning "understand and have awareness of your culture, before tattooing your body".
Dude, show some respect! Would you even say it to his face?
these guys took forever to finish i remember..lol they ended up finishing it at wendy`s house...lol
SIK OF YOURTRIANGLE TATU
One take-away I get from all this is unless I get a tatau I'm not man enough!? tsk tsk. I thought being able to provide for my family was manly enough- alas in my cultures eyes I'm obviously not!
Oh gummon uce.surely it's a lot more than that..it's a connection with your people more importantly sharing the pain of having a baby/kids with your better half unless you swing the other way then I'm sorry but I can't help you with that sole..✌
what is the purpose of this ? makes no sense to mark your body .. what a dumb ritual ?
Whats the point of maori people getting face tattoo?
Same reason you rub your noses together kuia.lol..CULTURE.
Are you even using youtube correctly? It's a symbol of identity, it's a mark of responsibility, servitude and duty
Jealous?
