Description:The art of tattooing is a common link between the Chamorro people of Guam and the rest of Micronesia. Culturally isolated by years of colonization, the rebirth of their interest in tattooing offers a chance for cultural revitalization and a renewal of self-identity for Chamorro people. The complexity and diversity of tattoo designs, the cultural and personal motivations behind them, and traditional techniques are explored.
