Keanu is from the south coast of Tahiti, more precisely from Papara, a place very famous for its well known surf spot.

A Polynesian tattoo artist who has been passionate about the arts since a very young age, Keanu trained at the Polynesian Arts and Crafts Center where he was able to acquire solid techniques and knowledge in different artistic fields.

However, he favored the art of tattooing to express himself by developing his personal graphic style very strongly influenced by the traditional Marquesan PatuTiki.
