Excerpt from Samoan House Building, Cooking, and Tattooing

Samoan tattooing presents not so much of artistic as of ethnologic interest, for it is a striking example of the conventionalization of a native art which seems to have preserved its stereotyped form and adhered to its laws of practice for generations unnumbered. As it was in the begin ning, it apparently is now.
