Croc Tatau

Englishman ‘Croc’ is the only man on Rarotonga crafting tata’u (tattoos) the traditional way, using pigment and hand tools. Check out his blog (www.croctatau.wordpress.com) for information and photos. He’s sometimes off the island working in Europe, so email him before you travel. You’ll find other local tattooists offering traditional designs but modern techniques at Avarua’s weekly Punanga Nui Market.
