I absolutely adore the Inuit tattoos I’ve seen, and the strength they represent. However, I wish there was more information on what each of the common tattoo symbols and shapes mean. Sadly I have looked, haven’t hardly been able to find anything about this part of the culture I wish to learn more about 😕
Dear Neon, I understand your point. Would be nice to understand the meanings. And I am sure that there is information about this somewhere. And the best source to ask is the maker herself: Ikimaliq Pikilak. IG: @ikimaliq_pikilak I hope you can get in touch with her.
Would it be cultural appropriation if I wanted to get a tattoo done like this from an Inuit tattoo artist in Greenland? I think this looks so beautiful!! I’m just curious. I wouldn’t want to wear something I’m not allowed to.
