The Peʻa is the popular name of the traditional male tatau (tattoo) of Samoa, also known as the malofie.[1] It is a common mistake for people to refer to the pe'a as sogaimiti, because sogaimiti refers to the man with the pe'a and not the pe'a itself. It covers the body from the middle of the back to the knees, and consists of heavy black lines, arrows, and dots.[2]
