When should you get a tattoo?

The word tattoo comes from the Tahitian word tatau, which means to strike. It is a sacred legacy that tells each person’s story on their skin. Expert tip: never plan to get a tattoo at the beginning of your stay! The sun and ocean salt are the enemies of healthy healing. Schedule your session 2 or 3 days before your departure so you can fully enjoy the lagoons of Moorea or Bora Bora without restriction before bringing home this indelible souvenir.
