Peʻa

Peʻa, or malofie, is the traditional male tattoo (tatau) of Samoa. It covers the body from the waist to the knees, and consists of perfectly symmetrical heavy black lines, arrows, and dots. It is a common mistake for people to refer to the peʻa as sogaimiti, because sogaimiti refers to the man with the peʻa and not the peʻa itself.
