Samoan Tattoo
Traveling around the world, from place to place and seeing new things for the first time, can be a wonderful feeling. It also can be a learning experience for some.

It is said that along time ago, there were these two Samoan sisters whose names were Taema and Tilafaiga. To a Black man, a Samoan would look like a Mexican. To a white man, a typical Samoan would look like a Black man.
