Wonderfully and articulately captured! Your passion and desire to do it again under the au was heartly felt ..along with a lot of other emotions 😥. Felt so proud at the end of the video! Well done bro! Malo lava le faamalosi 💪🏽💯
Thank you for sharing your emotional journey, I’m a Palagi and I admire your strength to go through getting your pe’a twice! Even tho you got it by machine the first time that’s still a huge tattoo and a lot of time, pain and money! Then to get it done again traditionally bro I take my hat off to you! Nothing but respect
It takes a lot of courage to step out into the public eye with this story & own it but it also takes courage to go through it twice. You should be more than proud of yourself with this as well as the rest of the aiga. Made me emotional watching this & excited for when my time comes to go under the au. Malo le onosai ma le faamalosi mo outou! Loves up fam from the BNE ♥️🤍 - Boogie x
I know rule been broken now days uso. And doing on the machine was wrongfully with little but of knowledge. But you going back and re-tracing it over to be into mainly lively hood. I'll respect you for and congratulate you on it. It's takes more then courage to actually get it done and correctly. It takes a lot of aiga to be there to support , god first before heading to. And also mostly a lot of your time and patience to be there getting it done. Much love and thank you for sharing your story and I appreciate the fact that you done it correctly and proud of you uce. I also did stretch with The Sulu'ape Petelo Aiga. And under sulu'ape tatau crew. Congratulations on your new journey in life. Alofas! 💯🔥💙🙏🏽
What a beautiful journey to virtually witness, every hug, tear & moment you could feel how raw and how special it was! So much love and respect for you Paul, such a touching story to share with the world. Our culture is important, and to see it engraved into our people is beautiful. I’ve learnt so much from this, thank you for shedding light on the importance of our tradition. You did an amazing job capturing it all leish, well done! Love you mufosasi fam, Love you Joenan❤️
Love you USO! I'm glad to have witnessed your first journey and now your second journey, no matter what you always made me proud uce and I am glad to have been apart but also witnessed it with the loving support from the MUFOSASI TRIBE and extended family and friends, one things certain and ill always say this, you can feel and see the love and passion and the effort that each and everyone of yous bring. Capturing moments like this only go's to show and share with the world how beautiful this family is and its a honour to be apart of well done to Paul, Joel, Nancy & Arasi, no doubt dad & mum will be proud of each of yous & also to Lisha for your hard work into bringing life to the videos yous share #skysthelimit #malofie #MUFOSASI #TRIBE God bless 🙌
Beautiful Doco, Beautiful Family, Paul bigs up to you for sharing your journey. Seeing your family there and the support you have to get you thru yours is all Praise and Glory to our Awesome God. Congrats to you and the family that went on this journey. Malo le faamalosi malo le onosai. May God bless yous all
I dont have any traditional tattoos myself but its humbling to see this man own up to doing his tattoo the non-traditional way despite his embarrassment, and then to go on his new journey and get it done correctly, so amazing. Malo lava le faamalosi 🙌🏽
This was absolutely beautiful to watch. That is what its all about... our faith in God, our culture, love and support from our family!!! Thank you for sharing! xx
Respects to you Uso for upholding your culture💯🙏I hope you found inner peace after this journey. As a maaori who bears the Pūhoro I totally understand your feelings. Through colonisation we maaori lost the art of tātau by the Uhi & even till this day there is very few Tōhunga who use Uhi. I feel like I let my ancestors down by not getting my Pūhoro done by Uhi.
watching this Doc gave me the chills and not only that it taught me that we need to live our truth not only within our family but also with our culture. Tears couldn't stop overflowing watching your guys journey..it really made me realize we need to stand together as one in our AIGA.. as one in our CULTURE. I've never been this proud of our SAMOA HERITAGE if it wasn't for use sharing this amazing Journey. LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS 100%..... Malo lava le faamalosi paul,joe,nancy, arasi also well done to the awesome family support.. love your NUMBER FAN from Mangere NZ.... can't wait for more DOCS or VIDS from THE ONE & ONLY MUFOSASI TRIBE....
Love you uso! What a burden to carry for so many years. You know I’m proud to be Samoan, love our culture, love our history, and love everything to do with Samoa. But our people can be really nasty, probably some of the biggest haters in the world. When a man is down, you don’t keep kicking him on the ground, you pick him up and help him up. When someone does something wrong you point it out and show them how it’s done properly instead of rubbing their faces in it. This is the true essence of being Samoan, of being a Pacific Islander. Samoans are the big brother to all the other small countries in the South Pacific and that’s how we should act, like the older brother. Help our little siblings, we shouldn’t be scolding them rather encourage and praise them. No one is born perfect, we are all flawed. Keep your head up uce! Your a koa already for doing it twice, how many guys out there can say they’ve done it twice? They’re lucky to do it once. God Bless uce, Alofa Aku! 🙏🏾
Takes a lot of courage to do this , I don’t know you Paul but have a lot off respect for you and family and Kings Polynesian , malo le tali au malo le kau ole kaua, much alofas from Brisbane
This was so beautiful to watch.. got me in tears and felt so happy for you that you can now walk with your head held high and be proud of your pe'a.. Thank you for sharing your journey..
Kia ora whanau and friends btw I'm māori but all I wanna say is that I love the Samoan culture and I have so much respect for you's guys. As a native indigenous māori individual of Aotearoa too you beautiful Samoan brothers and sisters of mine I salute you's for doing the long traditional way) I think in my culture my tupuna and ancestors did the traditional way of getting ta moko or moko aswell back in the days cause just like the pea in my culture we call ours the puhoro. And I think when I earn and get mines I'll do it the traditional way
Wow !!! This made me tear up !!. Shout out to the two usos!! Especially the Tattooist himself,What a guy!!!! Love this man!!!. Also his team !!!! Blessings coming your way my guy!!
This is so cool and interesting. I'm a Macedonian also in Melbourne and I can see the massive similarities between Samoans and us have in regards to the love we have for our home lands & traditions. I even got emotional watching this, so awesome!! Conrgatulations to everyone who got there tautau (hope I said it right) would love to visit Samoa once this corona stuff settles down. Much love!!
You should be so proud of yourself! Whether the right or wrong path was taken at the beginning, you have now arrived to Le Lagi o le Malofie. What a beautiful wife you have to stand strong by you!! Proud uso!
Hat goes off to this man. Actual so much respect. Just working on my puhoro/peha and this man doing this process twice, Unreal, amazing. Shot bro, so much kaha
Congrats Uso!!!...It takes a lot of courage to endure a tough journey of receiving your Pea and it being your second time around. As a fellow Sogai'imiti myself I'm beyond proud of you for having the courage to come out and share your story. Us Samoans are very proud people and at times too proud, instead of shaming those who didn't complete the process or authentically had the process done with the Au'. We should be supportive and encourage each other because none of us are fully aware of one another's situations. Alofa's from us here in the states.
this just got me sobbing. The strength, the connection, the family ties, the beauty. Bless all of you and thank you so much for sharing your journey with us
Congratulations Paul, I know how this was very important to you to get this done. It is something that can never be taken away from you. You knew in your heart it had to be done the true way in our Faa'samoan way. I felt every emotion just by watching the video. Malo lava Le onosai Uso I'm proud of you. God bless you brother and your family.
I want to thank you Paul for sharing your story, very hard one to admit in front of everyone. But now, your strength and courage has prevailed. You have done us all proud but mostly your family who matter the most. Malo le onosai male fa'amalosi. Much love to the Tufuga and his team, well done to you all. It was an absolute pleasure to have witnessed part of Paul's journey. God bless you all.
I think I saw this on Tiktok and just knew straight away why it was done twice! Brave of you to come out and tell your story. I applaud you for going under the ‘au, it’s the most rewarding journey you can ever go through as a man, the hours, the tapping and the pain is worth it! Faalealea le pe’a and be proud! Bless you brother! Malo le onosai, Malo le taoto, Malo le tali au!! ❤️
what an absolutely beautifully captured documentary! 🙌much respect for going through this journey uso and especially for opening up about it all, I hope that you can now hold your head high with that weight lifted off your shoulders and live your life to the fullest 🙏✨
Thank you for sharing your journey! I was born in Samoa, bred in Australia from a very young age. I believe the Tatau is a special privilege amongst our people, I hope one day by boys will earn this right. So proud and much Alofaz from Goulburn NSW 💪💪

Malo lava le onosa’i, malo le taoto & malo lava le tali aū. E leai se mea e le uma. Also big ups to your amazing family, support crew and your soas. Malo lava lau afioga le makuaofaiva tulouena le galue malosi. God is good. ❤️🇼🇸🦇
Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful journey with us all. It was emotional, yet filled my heart with so much love & gratitude for the beautifulart we call tatau. Congratulations to all who participated in the Malofie journey. What an awesome experience. Should be proud of yourselves. Love you cous Nancy! ❤
Bro, Thank you for your honesty. Not many people can sit there and correct the wrong, let alone tell the truth. Malo lava uso. And welcome. All the best, and congratulations. Alofa aku.
As a faimalu from the Sulu’ape Malofie ‘Āiga, it was touching watching this. It takes a lot of courage to share your journey out loud. Congrats on the journey, mālō lava le tali ‘au.
Wow thanks for being honest and open! I would’ve NEVER thought that a tatau could be done using a machine. I thought all tatau’s are done the old school way using the au! I’m getting mine done soon in Samoa! This was EXTREMELY helpful 👍! It’s certainly something to be proud of malo lava uso!
Thank you for the journey! So much love in the documentry. Malo le onosa'i, malo le taoto, Malo lava le tali au...oh and thank you making me try and hide my crying from my kids😜... God bless 🙏
Well documented Leisha, so much emotion captured and felt through Leishalens, Thank you Muliagatele Paul and Mama Sasa for sharing such a sensitive story, certainly open up the conversation for those quietly going through their own inner battle, you have rewritten your history and seeing that weight lifted off your heavy heart is a Joy, the atmosphere and energy MUFOSASI brings is contagious and positive just what the world needs right now, Malo le onosai, malo le faamalosi manaia le Laei a Samoa, just like the Tufuga said leave Samoa Tatau for the Samoa au, ua malie mata e vaai, big ups to the autau and their trusted team, All the Glory and praises back to our God, Thank you again ❤❤❤

Love the vibes and I love everything about the Mufosasi Tribe family. The saying from our past generations is true: Good parents brought you into this world, and give their 💯% love and support to take care of you and teach you 💯% to do the right thing and to take care of one another. You grow old, you will never stop doing it. It brought tears to my eyes, when I watch your family reminds me of my parents and the teachings they've taught us.

Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful journey with us all. It was emotional, yet filled my heart with so much love & gratitude for the beautifulart we call tatau. Congratulations to all who participated in the Malofie journey. What an awesome experience. Should be proud of yourselves. Love you cous Nancy! ❤

Love the vibes and I love everything about the Mufosasi Tribe family. The saying from our past generations is true: Good parents brought you into this world, and give their 💯% love and support to take care of you and teach you 💯% to do the right thing and to take care of one another. You grow old, you will never stop doing it. It brought tears to my eyes, when I watch your family reminds me of my parents and the teachings they've taught us. Family first and family over everything. Love yous Mufosasi tribe 🙏💕
