"Sacred Tualima" (tualima means 'back of the hand') depicts the tatau on the hands. Many have speculated its meaning, from navigation expertise, to a remedy for arthritis. There is likely some truth in all of it, but the wearer holds a responsibility of great importance when the hands are marked. Those hands are of great importance to the culture and to the village. Keep what is sacred, sacred.
