@tinasio_: The Malu Many talanoa’s ive had on my page but to keep it brief, its never an aesthetic, always a lifestyle and a privilege and grateful that ive learnt through my trials and tribulations on this topic. I hope that if it is apart of your journey to receive it that there is understanding and love during that process. Be confident to learn to speak, to act, to embody our culture if you are a carrier of our markings. If you were brave enough to get it, you have to be brave enough to learn your place when having it to our samoan community and to YOURSELF, alofas always x #fyp #foryoupage #samoantiktok #samoa #malu #mamalu #tatau #malofie #malofiesamoa #samoatiktokers🇦🇸🇼🇸 #polytiktok #islandertiktok

Yet we see chicks with the malu at festivals with their shorts shorts… Not cherishing the culture or respecting it…

I heard that alot of samoan men get their wife (who is not Samoan) to get the malu with them to “share the pain”. What are your thoughts? x

Are there ever conversations about the men and Pe’a? Or we always just hold women to this standard?

This isn't quite the same, but i learned @ 20 that my bio dad is Sāmoan. I'm 28 & learning about our culture. Is it disrespectful to get a Tatau?

Not sacred anymore. Some think their body their choice so we can’t say anything to them about how they carry their Malu - that’s clear indication 1/2

100% agree. Although its harder for dispora samoans to get a grasp of our culture because of where they are but knowledge is “free”thesedays! We can-
