Policy
Affiliate & Referral Disclosure.
What we're paid for, what we're not, and how to tell the difference.
Referral links
Links to studios, books, consultations, or products may generate referrals. In particular, this platform maintains an editorial and referral relationship with IslandTAT, the studio of Joshawa Elsas, who is a Founding Educational Contributor and the United States Regional Authority featured on this site. Referral links to The Polynesian Tattoo: Code and Joshawa.art may also generate compensation.
What referrals do not buy
- Editorial rankings. Authority status is not for sale.
- Cultural endorsement. Contributor labels are earned through review, not purchase.
- Content conclusions. Referral relationships do not determine what an article says.
Sponsored content
Sponsored content is not currently published. If it is introduced in the future, it will be clearly labeled as sponsored and separated from editorial content.
