Polynesian Tattoos

Welcome — I'm Rod Medina, a tattoo artist based at The Maohi Room in Winterthur, Switzerland.

I specialise in Polynesian, Tribal, Samoan-inspired, Tahitian, and Māori tattoos. Every tattoo I craft carries its own story, rooted in tradition and personal meaning.

The Art of

Polynesian Tattooing

With over 25 years of experience, I specialise in creating unique tattoos inspired by Maori, Polynesian, Tahiti, Hawaiian, Borneo, and Samoan cultures, each carrying its own meaning and story.

Every design I create is drawn freehand, ensuring that each piece is tailored to the individual and flows naturally with the body’s form. This approach allows the tattoo to become a personal expression, rooted in both tradition and identity.

Take a look through my gallery to see how I bring these traditions to life. Whether you're looking for something deeply symbolic or a modern interpretation, I’d be honoured to work with you on your next piece.
