Teuia Hikutini
Teuia Hikutini, also known as Hiku, approaches tattooing through a practice deeply rooted in his Marquesan heritage and cultural identity, which he honors with respect and sincerity in every piece he creates.
His work is guided by a constant pursuit of balance, proportion, and visual coherence.
Each detail is carefully considered so that the tattoo integrates naturally with the body and maintains its strength over time.
Meticulous and demanding in his craft, Hiku works with patience and precision, always striving for excellence.
Through his art, he conveys the energy, symbolism, and values inherited from his ancestral islands, creating tattoos that are powerful, harmonious, and deeply meaningful.
Each project is developed as a thoughtful collaboration with the client, respecting both tradition and personal narrative.
