THE EYE OF KANALOA TEMPORARY TATOO, designed by Serge Kahili King, Ph.D. $5.00/package of 5,

In the mythology of old Hawaii, Kanaloa was the god of the ocean, a healer god, and the close companion of Kane, the god of creation. They would journey together, share the sacred drink of 'awa, and use their staves to strike the ground and cause springs of fresh water to burst forth. Rare statues of Kanaloa feature him with round eyes, unlike those of any other representations of the gods. According to a Kauai tradition, if you could look into the eye of Kanaloa you would see the pattern above and be healed.

The Eye of Kanaloa symbol generates subtle energy, known as "ki" in Hawaiian. This energy can be used for healing, for stimulating physical and mental faculties, and for many other purposes. Most people can sense the energy, which may feel like a tingle, a current, a pressure or a coolness, by holding the hand, fingers, cheek or forehead near the symbol. By itself the symbol will help to harmonize the physical, emotional and mental energies of a room or other location. As a tatoo for personal healing, energizing and harmonizing it can be placed anywhere on the body, but it may be particularly effective on or near areas of tension or distress.

The Eye of Kanaloa Temporary Tatoo will typically remain intact for three to seven days, depending on the amount of friction from clothing or touch contact that it receives, but no guarantee is provided for durability. The tatoo is easily removed with soap and water or alcohol, plus a little rubbing.

The tatoo is 1.75 inches (4.5 cm) in diameter. Instructions for application are on the backing of the tatoo (in English).
