55
The art of tattooing and the dissemination of its material output as far afield as Europe forged a physical link between Antipodean travelers and the inhabitants of Polynesia. The language and the objects collected are an integral part of the history of contact with Others, and a study of tattooing and tattoos as a medium can reveal a great deal about these early exchanges that shaped Western views about the specificities of Polynesian culture.
