About Us: Omagna.ink – Guardians of the Sipatitik Heritage

Understanding the Sipatitik:

“Sipatitik” is the Mentawai term for a tattoo artist. The Mentawai people, originating from the Mentawai Islands in West Sumatra, are renowned for possessing one of the world’s oldest tattoo art traditions. For them, tattoos are not mere adornments but symbols of identity, social standing, and a spiritual connection with nature. Each motif etched into the skin carries profound meaning, from protection and bravery to honoring ancestors. The tattooing process employs traditional techniques, utilizing thorns and charcoal as natural ink. Mentawai tattoos reflect the tribe’s life philosophy: harmony with nature and spiritual equilibrium.
