Written and illustrated by a working tattoo artist that lives on the Big Island of Hawaii, this fascinating book delves into the history and concepts behind the Ana'ole style tattoo. A departure from traditional, 2-dimensional Polynesian tattoo art, Ana'ole uses high detail, 3-dimensional imagery and unique mathematical formulas such as The Golden Ratio and Fibonacci Sequences, to create tattoos which can reflect a person's story or history.
