Tattoo art was once popular with both men and woman, young and old alike. The men's designs were drawn all over the face and body, while the women did not put as many on their faces and bodies.The designs are always very creative. In one example, vertical lines and round dots above them are placed on the forehead in such a way that they appear to be a large row of men.

Petroglyphs are a form of art that is found in many cultures. They are usually related to the language or religion of that civilization. A great part of the petroglyphs found on my island are associated with the Birdman Cult. A competition was held every year to determine leadership. The winner of this harsh contest was declared Birdman for that year and often a carving was made of him atop Rano Raraku. Storytelling was the major form of record keeping on the island. The use of string art was how the inhabitants told stories. It is similar to what your people would call "Cat's Cradle." However, this was more than just a game to my people, it was an artform.

Lastly, Tapa or barkcloth is a material used for the making of wooden sculptures. This material is produced from the inner bark of the Breadfruit trees found on the island. This art is also one of the most popular among all of the Polynesian islands. The arts of my island, Easter Island, have fascinated the world for centuries. From barkcloth to giant stone monoliths, my people have proven to be a great and creative civilization of wonder.
