Tribal Tattoo Designs : Meaning, Definition and Uses       

  To understand "Tribal Tattoo Art", its important to know that word 'tribal' is derived from word 'Tribe'.  So tribal is a kind of art which is been developed from various tribes. 

 In ancient times, tattoos (a permanent mark on body) was used as identity of a particular tribe, or
 a person, or even position of a person within one tribe. In some tribes, tattoos were also used to describe the occupation of a person, like warriors of the tribe were used to have different patterns of tattoo design than farmers.

Tattoos were also done on human body in various tribes with the believe that it will save the person from enemies or natural disasters like ocean, animals etc.. 
Tribal art is one of the most old form of body art, as black color was easy to made and understand, so tribal tattoos were mainly done with black color. Even in todays age, Tribal work is preferred to be done in black. There are many mysterious tattoos with lots of details and believes hidden in them. In modern Tribal Tattoo art, black designs are even mixed with some time animals like lion, wolf or even with birds, Hawk or with other objects and can come up with nice designs.

To whom suites Tribal Tattoo Designs the most :  Tribal designs suits more on men., also a person with meduim to good built can make a difference with a Tribal Tattoo on him.  As Tribal Tattoos are mainly done with dark black tattoo ink,  so someone even with dusky, dark skin can go for a tribal tattoo.

Tribal tattoos are mainly done on bicep, shoulder, back neck, back shoulder, calf and even on chest.

Tribal Tattoo Design

Here is the image of Bicep Tribal Tattoo I did from Gurgaon branch of Angel Tattoo Design Studio. Sharpness in the design and smoothness in the coloring is the key to good tribal work. Also beauty of tribal tattoo work is that one can easily extend the design to make the tattoo larger, and whole tattoo will look like one piece. It happens quite some time that people feel need to enlarge the tattoo already done on your body, and tribal work is the best to enlarge.

Shoulder Tribal Tattoo Design

 Another Big Tribal Shoulder Tattoo is in progress by me at our Gurgaon Tattoo Studio. Here you can see two images of this big tattoo which is the result of 1st sitting of 7 hours. Plan is to extend this tattoo from shoulder to chest which will need another 2 more sittings.  This Tribal design has the inspiration from Mauri Tribe tattoo designing.
