Tattoo is actually a combination of two words from the Polynesian language. The word "Tata" means to tap repeatedly by hand. The word "Au" means color.

What is a good coming of age tattoo?

Any tattoo can be a "coming of age" tattoo. Various cultures have specific tattoos that signify an important step in the "coming of age" process, but with the modern acceptance of tattoos comes a personalization that was not as common in times past. I came across your post while I was trying to find a tattoo with similar meaning that was specific to my ethnic heritage, but I believe that the meaning of a tattoo is only given by the person wearing it, in spite of the historical, or even religious, significance. As long as you find a symbol that speaks to you on a personal level, you can never have a stupid tattoo. Best of luck and congratulations for reaching such a milestone
