Some Information on Tribal Tattoos

Tribal tattoos are fast becoming popular among tattoo enthusiasts. These tattoos have gained increasing exposure not just in America, but also in Asia where tattoos have been long associated with secret societies.

The reason why tribal tattoos are gaining popularity is because of the meanings behind them. Tattoos were used to indicate a person as a member of a group or to represent religious or spiritual beliefs. In certain ancient societies, tattoos were used as ranks to indicate seniority and power. Tribal tattoos were also used as a form of tribal identification. If you put on the wrong tattoo, it will risk your chances of being one of the tribe and they might just permanently mark you as an outsider. In some Asian tribal societies, tattoos were deliberately used to mark you as a rebel and enemy. So be careful when you have a tattoo and are walking in the jungle, you might just have an arrow pieced through you by mistake.

Today in the modern society, besides tattooing for aesthetic reasons, these tribal tattoos on the body can also be used to subtly command a certain amount of envy and respect among those looking. The LV sign of Vuitton bags is a symbol and they exemplify affluence and wealth. Tribal tattoos have the same effects when done tastefully. They symbolize power, energy, force, ability and skill. This can help to instill and reinforce our positive feelings, just like what famous brands of luxury goods do to people. By drawing a few simple dark thick lines and curves, tribal tattoos drawn in a shape of dragon or rose, it can bring as much pride to the inked body, only much cheaper than the LV bags.

So what kind of tribal tattoos is popular? Tribal sun is good, Celtic knots are extremely popular, flowers are favored by women, armbands are worn by those with muscular biceps. In fact most tribal tattoos can be worn anywhere; the upper back, the lower back, the ankle, the navel, shoulder and chest. I have seen one on top of the head! You can have anything drawn to your imagination; just make sure they fit the right places. You don't want to put a short barbed wire on your chest because most would look better around the arms. Neither do you want to put a flame around your nipple. So use some judgment and exercise some creativity. Maybe you can observe what others have done and have the tattoo artist's advise you a little before you commit yourself.
