Je suis absolument ravi de mon achat ! J’avais commandé un collier sur leur site internet, et le recevoir finalement en main propre a rendu l’expérience encore plus spéciale.
Le travail est d’une qualité remarquable, réalisé avec beaucoup de soin et de passion. Chaque détail témoigne de la beauté des îles Marquises, de leur savoir-faire artisanal et d’une culture riche en émotions, profondément ancrée dans ses racines.
On sent tout l’amour et le respect des traditions dans cette création. Un immense merci à ce couple d’artisans pour leur talent, leur authenticité et leur gentillesse. Je recommande les yeux fermés !
We can absolutely recommend Cannibal Art.
Emails are answered immediately and more than friendly.
The sea urchin necklace and the Tiki Nui were well packed and arrived safely here in Germany.
Amazing handmade work "from the other end of the world."
This definitely won’t be our last purchase there. TOP. 5 stars and more.
Échanges par mail et disponibilité des vendeurs super. Le colis est bien emballé, et le suivi du colis est bien effectué. Transaction très fluide au niveau du paiement, sans soucis.
Notre Tiki est parfait et correspond à nos attentes. Nous sommes ravis d’avoir un morceau de Polynésie à la maison.
Māuruuru Ana & Tanguy !
It was so worth the wait, Ana is overly responsive and her follow up ensures you receive the most up to date status. I’m pleasantly satisfied with my necklace and will wear it with pride for years to come. Excellent craftsmanship and packaged safely for the trip to the 48. Thank you again!!!!
I am beyond happy with my purchase. Seeing it on the website and then seeing it in person I can't describe how much more gorgeous it is in person 🤍✨ this piece has meaning and a story of it's journey all the way from Nuku Hiva to the forest of Ola'a Hawai'i i 🌺🌿🤙🏽maururu roa Ana & Tanguy
Parti des Marquises sans avoir pu emporter un Tiki avec moi, j'ai trouvé Cannibal Art et donc un tiki commandé à partir du site Internet... Bon, il faut bien sûr garder en tête que le voyage peut-être long: personnellement presque trois semaines depuis Nuku Hiva jusqu'en Alsace, mais distribué contre signature par la poste, bien emballé, une arrivée sans encombre.
Le Tiki prône maintenant à côté du gros album photos de mon voyage en Polynésie... SUPERBE
Merci Ana et Tanguy
I’ve purchased a few items from Ana & Tanguy. Their communication has always been fast and helpful. Ana has always tried to find the best shipping options for me as I’m in the US. Items are the best quality and beautifully crafted. I’ll be buying more items soon.
More than pleased with our purchase! All pieces are amazing!! Totally worth the wait of shipping to the U.S.!! Thank you Ana & Tanguy for all your hard work producing and getting these lovely items to us!!!
My tiki just arrived from Nuku Hiva at my home in Spain. Impeccable service and truly a Polynesian work of art. The quality of the tiki is exceptional. Koutau to Ana and Tanguy for bringing a little bit of Fenua to my home.
See you soon!
Mauruuru roa!!!

De fantastiques sculptures et Tiki en provenance directe des Marquises. Envoi par la Poste rapide et soigné. Bravo et Merci Ana et Tangy.
After some trials and tribulations with shipping (thanks to the hard work of Ana & T, I received my piece. It is beautiful and feel so fortunate to have it. Exceeded my expectations on all fronts. Thank you!!
I and a friend of mine collect postcards from all over the world and I found that Cannibal Art had postcards on their website store. Unfortunately, the items were out of stock, so I wrote to ask if there was any chance they still have the possibility of shipping two postcards.
I got Ana's reply within hours, and she told me she would be super happy to send me and my friend two postcards written, stamped and mailed by her directly from Nuku Hiva. I made the payment on the Cannibal Art website and after about a month (the standard travel time for snail mail from the Marquesas to reach us in Italy) we found two beautiful postcards with wonderful stamps and a kind message in our mailbox.
I highly recommend Cannibal Art for Ana's kindness and availability in fulfilling our request and for the reliability of the shipping. Well-deserved 5 stars!
After a deep dive into the Marquesan culture, travellers who make their way to the remote Marquesan Islands typically love to either take a locally made tattoo or carved artefacts back home. Crafted artefacts can be found at various local artisan markets and the bone carvers of Tahuata and their traditional art form are famous and highly regarded as being among the finest in Polynesia.
What interests me in particular are beautifully carved war clubs / status symbols of the Marquesas Islands ('uu / u'u) that had intrigued explorers, traders, whalers and the like ever since the end of the 18th century. Many people say it would be best to directly establish contacts with local carvers for an exquisite souvenir and this is exactly why I contacted Tangy Taupotini and Ana from Cannibal Art and asked whether Tangy would be happy working on a commissioned u'u carving for me.
I seriously believe Tangy - who comes from a well-known Marquesan family of woodcarvers, who is widely regarded as a master carver (tuhuna) and who contributed with his authority on Marquesan culture in a June 2025 ARTE TV documentation on Marquesan tattoos - is the artist you want to rely upon. Any customer must certainly be overwhelmed by Tangy’s and Ana’s focus on customer care, dedication, warmth in communication, artistry / craftsmanship, attention to detail and last but not least on very professional packaging for a safe transport / shipping of Tangy’s artwork. For each of the categories mentioned Cannibal Art truly deserves a five star rating.
The look and the quality of this unique marquesan art is very great. I love it, thanks a lot
Merci infiniment pour ce magnifique collier !
Je suis vraiment heureux de l’avoir et fier de porter un symbole de votre si belle culture que j’admire profondément et qui m’inspire chaque jour.
Un grand bravo également pour votre service client rapide et attentionné, je vous remercie de tout cœur !
Kaumai !
The creativity, warmth, and customer care at Cannibal Art are unparalleled. The duo running the shop are genuine treasures and
Showcase the finest aspects of Polynesia. Supporting them is a true honor.
Cannibal Art for life.
Mary and I highly recommend Cannibal Art. Tangy and Ana make a great team!!!!! You couldn't find a better source for Polynesian art treasures!!!
Received my pendant necklace. Shipped quickly. Even though it’s small - lots of great details!! Love it.
J'ai eu le privilège de pouvoir commander depuis la Suisse ce merveilleux collier-pendentif Tiki...
Je le reçois à l'instant et son voyage s'est très bien passé. Je tiens à remercier vivement Ana & Tangy, à la fois pour la qualité de cette pièce et pour leur merveilleuse empathie ... dès à présent ce Tiki m'accompagnera jour et nuit et son Mana me protégera...
Sincères remerciements et à une prochaine fois bien évidemment...Merci !
We visited Ana and Tangy for a hiking excursion in Nuku Hiva. After the hike they invited us to their home and gallery for a fabulous lunch before leaving. The hike was a 10/10 with Ana giving such wonderful commentary on the area and history of their village. The gallery has amazing hand carved at that was just stunning. We didn't buy anything while there due to no luggage space but after getting home i wanted to purchase Anas book about her travels. Ana let me know when it was mailed and it arrived today! I'm excited to read about her travel journeys that lead here to her home in French Polynesian. We can't wait to go back for another visit!

We are very satisfied with the intricate hook necklace that Tangy carved. It's truly a unique work of art. It's a bonus that we were able to spend the day with Ana and Tangy in December and see them in action. It really gives context to the art pieces that Tangy produces and we're happy to support them both in their endeavours. Thank you so much! Best wishes from Semi and Christine
Tangy's outstanding artistic creativity brings the ancestral Marquesan images and patterns to life with each new piece. Thank you!
