Polynesian Tattoo in Sydney
Amzart is the studio of Ameo Bolaira (Amz), a Fijian tattoo artist in Newtown creating custom Polynesian and Fijian work. Every piece is designed from scratch around your story — drawn in the living tradition, never copied from a flash sheet.
Authentic, not imitation
Polynesian tattooing carries meaning — structure, symbols and story that belong to the cultures that created it. Amz was born in Fiji (Naracivo, Rewa Province) and brings that responsibility to every Polynesian and Fijian piece: understanding your connection to the islands and building a design that means something, not just one that looks the part.
Nine years refining his craft — custom Polynesian, Fijian and Polynesian-tribal work alongside black & grey realism, geometric, ornamental and dotwork.

What makes a Polynesian tattoo authentic?
Authentic Polynesian work is rooted in the meaning and structure of the tradition, not just the look. Amz is a Fijian artist who designs each piece around your story and heritage, drawing on the established visual language rather than copying flash.
