Hey
I’m looking to get half a maori/polynesian sleeve soon but i’m not sure what the specific name for it is
I don’t like the pointy tribal kind.
It’s hard to explain so i’ll just post some pictures saying what I like, and don’t like 🙂

DONT LIKE/DONT WANT

looks like some kind of aztec design if you ask me.

Aztec sounds right to me as well…
But don’t quote me.

You could always call The Rock and ask him :p

His tattoos are Polynesian/Samoan.

I agree with Infamous, his tats are Polynesian. A good reference for this style is: http://www.tahititatou.com/. Here you can find some meanings of things, because most of the design has meaning. These tats usually tell a story of ones life and you want to be careful when chosing a design that fits you. I always liked how the artists can design a polynesian tatou that takes the form of an animal (ray, shark, turtle, lizard) and incorporates other symbols within the body. I would reccommend you find an artist with experience and/or knowledge of this style.
