Warning: This story contains spoilers Moana 2.

In Polynesian culture, tattoos are incredibly meaningful and generally represent aspects of one’s family, history and cultural legend.

That certainly applies to Moana‘s demigod, Maui (Dwayne Johnson), whose tattoos are animated representations of his past (they even move!). But Maui is no longer the only one with impressive ink.

In Moana 2, Moana (Auli’i Cravalho) nearly dies trying to reach the sunken island of Motufetu, swimming deep into the ocean to touch land, thus breaking the evil god Nalo’s curse. When Maui goes to save her, he sings a sad song, welcoming all her ancestors, including Moana’s grandmother, Tala (Rachel House). They revive Moana, and when she wakes up, she has a new tattoo: the symbol of the mountain peaks and stars above Motufetu that she first found etched on a piece of pottery, setting her journey in motion.

But what does this tattoo, which magically inks itself into Moana’s arm, mean?

The film itself is coy about the symbolism of the new body art. “So, does this mean?…” Moana asks, seemingly asking if she is now a demigod like Maui. He replies: “That my tattoos are cooler than yours? Yes.”

Reflect on the moment with Entertainment weeklyJohnson says he thinks “it’s safe to assume… that she becomes a demigod,” adding, “I really appreciate how it was executed and how it was written.”

Cravalho also references Moana’s new status during his speech about her freshly minted title at the beginning of the film: Tautai. “That means she’s a master navigator,” she tells EW. “I love that we have this Indigenous history on the big screen, but without spoiling too much, Moana’s title changes a few times. Is she a princess? Is she a TauTai? Is she anything more?”

While Johnson and Cravalho speak from their characters’ points of view, co-writer and co-director Dana Ledoux Miller confirms that Moana’s tattoo means exactly what Moana thinks it means: that she has acquired a new status and/or power that is shared. by gods and demigods. “Yes,” Miller says on whether or not the tattoo makes Moana a demigod. “But we don’t yet know what exactly that means for her future.”

Between this and the post-credits scene, we’re already wanting more Moana.
