Victoria Veriamo a Huki a Parapara, also known as Viriamo (c.1840 - c.1940) was one of the last surviving Rapa Nui people to have been tattooed using traditional practices, along with Ana Eva Hei. She was a cultural informant who shared information about indigenous Rapa Nui culture with European visitors; the same knowledge she also shared with her son Juan Tepano, who in turn also functioned as a cultural informant.
