Luna Tattoo Spruce Concert Ukulele – Satin Natural

A concert uke with genuine artistic identity — laser-etched Polynesian tattoo designs you can feel under your fingertips, a warm mahogany body with a bright spruce top, and Aquila strings ready to play.

Who This Uke Is For

The Luna Tattoo Spruce Concert is for the player who wants a ukulele that feels personal the moment they pick it up. Luna built their entire identity around instruments that look like something — and the Tattoo series earns that reputation. The laser-etched Polynesian design covers the top of the instrument and is applied with an open-pore finish, meaning you can actually feel the raised texture of the design as you play. It's the kind of tactile detail that makes the uke feel intentional rather than decorative. The concert body size is the most versatile entry point into ukulele — larger and louder than a soprano with more frets for chord exploration and melodic playing, but still compact and easy to bring anywhere. The spruce top adds a brightness and clarity to the tone that pairs well with mahogany's warmth, resulting in a voice that sings with both punch and depth. The shark tooth fret markers reinforce the Polynesian theme right down to the fretboard detail. Whether you're a first-time uke player looking for something that will inspire you to keep coming back to it, or a guitarist or musician exploring the instrument for the first time, the Tattoo Spruce is a uke that rewards your attention and holds it.

Key Highlights

• Laser-etched Polynesian tattoo design — applied with an open-pore finish so the design is raised and tactile, not just visual; inspired by the honu (Hawaiian turtle), waves, and shark teeth
• Spruce top — bright, articulate tonal character with clear attack and good projection; produces a crisper, more present sound than an all-mahogany uke
• Eastern Mahogany back and sides — warm, full-bodied mid-range that provides a rich tonal foundation under the spruce top's clarity
• Concert body size — step up from soprano in volume, projection, and fret range; the concert is the go-to choice for players who want more range and a slightly fuller sound
• Walnut bridge — warm character with good string vibration transfer to the body
• Shark tooth pearloid inlays — reinforce the Polynesian tattoo theme at the fret markers for a fully cohesive visual design
• 15" scale length — standard concert uke scale, comfortable for adult hands and familiar to guitar players
• 18 frets — more fret access than soprano or budget concert ukes, enabling a wider range of chords and single-note exploration
• 1 3/8" nut width — standard concert uke nut width, comfortable for most hand sizes
• Open gear tuners with pearloid button knobs — chrome hardware with a classic, refined look
• Aquila Super Nylgut strings — installed from the factory; Aquila is the most trusted string brand in the ukulele world for tone and consistency
• Satin natural open-pore finish — lets the wood breathe and resonates more freely than heavy gloss finishes; contributes to the tactile quality of the etched design

Sound, Feel, and Use

Concert ukuleles occupy the most versatile position in the uke family — they're bigger than sopranos with noticeably more volume and projection, but smaller and easier to handle than tenors. The 15" scale sits in a range that most adult hands find immediately comfortable, with fret spacing that's accessible for new players and natural for guitar players making the transition. The spruce top delivers a noticeably brighter, more articulate sound than an all-mahogany instrument — there's more definition in the attack, more clarity in chord separation, and the instrument projects with a bit more presence. The mahogany back and sides provide the warmth and fullness underneath that stop it from sounding thin or harsh. The result is a balanced uke voice that works for open-chord strumming, fingerpicking patterns, and melodic single-string playing without leaning too hard in any one direction. The satin open-pore finish gives the instrument a tactile quality that gloss-finished ukes lack — the body feels natural and slightly raw underhand in a way that encourages playing rather than hesitancy. The laser-etched tattoo design catches light from different angles, and because the finish is applied over the top rather than under it, the pattern has a three-dimensional quality that changes as you move the instrument. The Aquila Super Nylgut strings installed from the factory are among the most respected strings in the ukulele community for consistency and tone — no need to swap them out immediately after purchase.
