interested in a talanoa about veiqia?

。𖦹°‧ for itaukei folks who are interested in a talanoa about veiqia - I’d love to connect. I am still (forever) on my learning journey about Fijian culture and my ancestry and appreciate connecting with others about culture and our tattooo traditions - please message me below and i’ll be in touch.
