Polynesian or Japanese?

Tribals are good on guys, but personally I think they are too masculine and heavy for women to wear. That's why I was thinking Polynesian, the design is much lighter.
I have been working on my tat designs (been sick with a cold) and am leaning towards a Japanese style at the moment.....
We considered Hawaii, but a lot of the tats I saw were thicker style that I was looking for. The Maori tats and tribals were so dark....lol I was thinking of going here:
I think his work is so clean....
However, I have been in contact with this guy:
He's gonna be in my neighborhood for a few months. We have to sit down and see if he will be able to accomplish what I am looking for in the short time that he will be here. If not, I have two other artist in mind, but it will be a while before I can get in to see them....
I think you need to sit down and really decide what you want represented from your tattoo. There's nothing I hate more (okay, not exactly that harsh) than to see a bunch of tattoos that make a bunch of lines and dots on a person and have absolutely no meaning except "I wanted a tattoo". This is coming from someone who has 6 tattoos.
There's really no reason why you can't sketch out something in your mind and decide you want it in 'such and such' style.

I appreciate your candidness. I agree, I would never have something that means nothing tattooed on me. I have two very distinct sketches drawn out, both that carry pretty much the same meanings, just minor differences in symbolism, and of course style.
I just wanted to hear what others liked and disliked, and was interested in hearing their view. Thanks for the advice...much appreciated
Cheers,

It will be because its tribal. however if you've seen dusk til dawn then you will understand the neck to elbow part douche.
A trip to Maori? Maori are an ethnicity not a place hehe
Māori - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I would probably go with a maori tattoo, I know someone that will do it and you can stay at my place with my whanau so theres some cost cut down!

Well, if you're looking for an opinions.....
I was raised to believe that God created each of us with beautiful skin and decorated it Himself with freckles and moles. You'll never catch me with a tatoo. But I grew up in an area where the only people with tatoos were white trash. I think tatoos can be a beautiful way to create art and express an belief, but I would rather wear a T-shirt or jewelry that expressed myself instead of permant ink. A friend of mine didn't want to get a tatoo, but she really liked a certain tatoo design, so she had a tatoo artist draw it on paper and framed it. It looks beautiful as wall art, and won't fade or sag, and if she changes her mind down the road, it's not permant.
You might want to temporarly hang a couple of the different designs on a wall in your house and see which one your eye is drawn towards more to help you pick out a style.
Those are badass
