Hula facial tattooing, ca. 1915. The stepped tattoos (lakatoi) on the woman’s cheeks and nose note that her father participated in several successful trading voyages.

The motif on the throat denotes that the woman is married Traditionally, tattoo artists were almost always female and different women were employed for tattooing specific parts of the body.
