ARTISTS
Each artist at the studio has a strong personal signature, deep cultural roots, and a respectful approach to Polynesian tattooing.
Our approach
1. Exchange & intention
Every project begins with a thoughtful exchange. By email or at the studio, we take the time to understand your intention, references, ideal placement, and the emotion you wish to carry on the skin.
2. Exclusive creation
Your tattoo is conceived as a one-of-a-kind work, entirely designed for you.
No reproductions, no standard designs: the creation is original and deeply personal.
3. Execution
In a professional and carefully maintained environment, we work with precision, discipline, and control, following the highest hygiene standards.
The gesture is intentional. The detail matters.
4. Continuity & longevity
After the session, we guide you through the healing process to ensure optimal recovery and to preserve the quality, clarity, and intensity of the tattoo over time.

Clients come to us for a simple reason: the confidence of making a choice they will never regret.
Founded in 2003 by internationally recognized tattoo artist Manu Farrarons, Mana’o Tattoo is located in the heart of Papeete, the main city of Tahiti, in French Polynesia.
​
Over the years, the studio has established itself as one of the world’s leading Polynesian tattoo studios, earning numerous distinctions, publications, and awards at both local and international conventions.
​
The studio is driven by a collective of independent artists, united by a high level of artistic excellence, rigorous professionalism, and an approach guided by Tahitian mana, offering an experience that is both calm and privileged.
​
Creations emerge through close collaboration between the artist and the individual behind the project, in respect of Polynesian Tatau traditions, within an environment that is calm, refined, and intentionally designed for focus and creation.
All projects are fully personalized, designed to endure and to carry meaning over time.
​
As availability is often limited, last-minute appointments cannot be guaranteed.
We therefore recommend contacting the studio by email well in advance.
