Real-life Jason, as it turns out, has a lot of tats across his whole body—and all of them are super meaningful. In fact, the Aquaman makeup team appears to have been so inspired by the real tattoo Jason has on his arm that they went ahead and used it as the jumping-off point for Aquaman's full-body designs.
He then took his bowler hat off to reveal what appears to be a new permanent tattoo. In the status, he tagged Keone Nunes, a master of traditional Hawaiian tattooing. In Polynesian culture, the location of a tattoo is incredibly significant.

Hawaiian people are an ethnically diverse group. Only about 10% of Hawaii's total population of 1.5 million identifies as ethnically Hawaiian. People that are ethnically Hawaiian have Polynesian roots and are part of the Pacific Islander group. The largest ethnic group of Hawaii is Asian, followed by White.
“Native Hawaiian” is a racial classification used by the United States. In the most recent Census, 690,000 people reported that they were Native Hawaiian or of a mixed race that includes Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander. There may now be as few as 5,000 pure-blood Native Hawaiians remaining in the world.
Hawaiians: Native Hawaiians have origins in the Hawaiian Islands, which are located in the central Pacific Ocean. They are part of the Eastern Polynesian group [1]. Samoans: Samoans have origins in the Samoan Islands, which are located in the South Pacific Ocean. They are part of the Western Polynesian group [1].
Unlike tribal nations in the 48 contiguous states, the Native Hawaiian people have no land base of their own. Native Hawaiians do not consider themselves “American” for their origins are not like the Indigenous peoples of the Americas.
Samoans are mainly of Polynesian heritage, and about nine-tenths of the population are ethnic Samoans. Euronesians (people of mixed European and Polynesian ancestry) account for most of the rest of the population, and a tiny fraction are of wholly European heritage.
