Taino tribal tattoos are inspired by Puerto Rican culture. Taino culture is rich in bravery, artistic triumph (unique symbols) and innovations. The Taino Indians were native to the Caribbean Indians that consisted of present-day Puerto Rico, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, and Jamaica. The Aboriginal people of these island countries called themselves the Arawak people (named for their unique Arawak language).
The Taino tribe did not use any written alphabet but relied primarily on symbols and petroglyphs. each symbol of the Arawak language had a special meaning. It was evident from the tribal body art of the Taino.
The indigenous tribe sadly saw a sudden disappearance due to the Spanish Inquisition (within 40 years of the discovery of the island by Christopher Columbus). however, his legacy lived on, as even today Taino tribal tattoos are popular all over the world.
Like all other ancient tribes, the Taino people also had their gods and goddesses that greatly influenced their symbolic art.
here are the meanings of each symbol of the Puerto Rican Taino tribal culture and how they are used as a tattoo design –
Taino Sun Tattoo – The sun was the most common Taino symbol that represented our planetary star as a life-giving god. the design featured sunbeams along with googly eyes and sometimes a smile.
A Taino moon symbol was shown in a similar style but included the different phases of the moon. a full moon was displayed as a happy emoticon.
Taino coqui tattoo – coqui translates as the species of frog found on these islands. the coqui symbol showed a frog hopping over a circle. its symbolic meaning was good health and long life.
Along with the frog, the Taino tribe was also known to display other reptiles such as lizards, snakes, and even turtles. each animal represented survival and strength.
