What't the big deal with Tribal Tattoos?
Tattoos have been used as symbols of self-expression or belonging since the dawn of humanity. The first tattoos were applied with sharp sticks that were dipped into ashes and forced under the skin.Once the wound healed over, a permanent mark remained. Thousands of years ago, tattoos were used for a variety of reasons. The term "tribal tattoo" commonly refers to the type of tattoo we see today that harkens back to a time when tattoos were black marks used to describe belonging to a group or to certain occurrences, such as the hunt for real or mythological creatures or the relationship between humankind and the elements, the sun or the moon.
Religious, magical or spiritual beliefs were often expressed through tattoos as well. The oldest tattooed body that has been found to date is that of a Bronze Age man who lived and died over 5,000 years ago.
He was found frozen in a glacier in Italy. On close examination, researchers found that his body was covered with intricate tattoos of mythical creatures. Tribal tattoos link us to humanity throughout the ages, mythical characters that we identify with, cultures, and animals.
Today, we find tribal tattoos that relate to cultures such as Native American, Indigenous, African, Hawaiian, Samoan, Polynesian, Eskimo, Inuit, Pagan, Celtic, Asian and Tahitian, among others.
Most are designs done completely in black ink or black ink with some shading of gray and white. Color may be found in a tribal tattoo, but it's usually used sparingly. Tribal tattoos are popular and can be found on almost any part of the body.

What design should I get?
Are you considering getting your boyfriend/girlfriend's name permanently embedded in your skin?Duh, what are you thinkin'?
If you're serious about getting a tattoo, make sure that what you're having inked into your skin for pretty much eternity is something you'll be happy about forty years from now. When you consider which kind of tattoo design to get, ask yourself the following questions:
Why are you getting a tattoo?
If it is on a dare, or because "everyone else" is doing it, then please reconsider.
Will I still love the tattoo in 40-50 years?
The tattoo is not going anywhere. It can be dangerous and expensive to get it removed. So think seriously about your design. Is it something you would not want your children (even if you don't have any now, or plan to have any) to see.

A tattoo is a permanent marking made by inserting ink into the layers of skin to change the pigment for decorative or other reasons. Tattoos on humans are a type of decorative body modification, while tattoos on animals are most commonly used for identification or branding.
Tattooing has been practiced worldwide. The Ainu, the indigenous people of Japan, traditionally wore facial tattoos. Today one can find Berbers of Tamazgha and Maori of New Zealand with facial tattoos. Tattooing was widespread among Polynesian peoples and among certain tribal groups in the Philippines, Borneo, Mentawai Islands, Africa, North America, South America, Mesoamerica, Europe, Japan, Cambodia, New Zealand and Micronesia. Despite some taboos surrounding tattooing, the art continues to be popular in many parts of the world.
