Samoan Tattoo Exhibition

Samoan Tattoo Exhibition

Hi Everyone :)

I am running a Tattoo Exhibition in Samoa from the 1st of April to the 13th of April 2017.

It will be the very first Tattoo Exhibition to be held at the beautiful Taumeasina Island Resort.

Alongside the exhibition I will also be raising funds for a children's sporting academy which includes the sports, tennis, golf and lawn bowls, yes lawn bowls :)

My big goal is to help more Samoan athletes attend South Pacific, Commonwealth and Olympic Games and medal. 

I know Samoa has the talent but athletes don't always have access to the quality coaching and resources that they need to take their game to the highest level, this academy will solve that.

Now you all know it wouldn't be a "Tanner Vili Event" if there wasn't a TWIST!

The TWIST is...I will be the one getting tattooed!

My Dad passed away in June 2016 and it has had a massive impact on me.  December 2016 I was blessed to have my Dad's Matai Title of Taelega bestowed upon me by my village, SATAOA.  I have always wanted a tatau and I feel like this is the right time to receive mine.

Master Tattooist/Tufuga Kasala Laei Sanele will be blessing me with his art and I will be receiving my tatau. (Some of you will know it as the "full body" Samoan Tattoo)

If you are in Samoa during the exhibition I would love for you all to attend and be an important part of my journey.

Some have already donated as they want to see me in pain lol.  This will be my very first tattoo of any kind!

If you would like more information please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

There are lots of rewards and prizes so please donate what you can, even the smallest amount will help and will be very much appreciated <3

Thank you very much in advance for your time and may you all have a prosperous 2017.

God Bless,

Taelega Aiavao Tanner Vili.
