Tribal tattoos follow a style of art that has routes dating back thousands of years. There is a real connection with the ‘right of passage’ with this genre and this probably has a lot to do with why tribal tattoos are the most popular choice today. It is not unusual to spot numerous people sporting their tribal ink collections when you stroll down to the beach on a hot and sunny day and this is definitely not just with the guys.
The great thing about this style is that it comes in any size you want. From smaller designs that will slot in well between larger pieces of existing body ink to immensely complicated and larger designs that can cover vast parts of the body.
Women have embraced tribal tattoo designs just as much as the guys. Even though these tattoos are black and bold, designs can still look really tasteful and very feminine when placed in exactly the right areas of the body. They will even take the form of specific features/objects that are notoriously aimed at the female tattoo market.Men really do go to town where tribal tattoos are concerned. It is becoming increasingly common to spot men with complete sleeves devoted to this style of body art and some may even go as far as the total body suit. Cool!
Although tribal designs are predominantly just plain black in color, you may have noticed how more and more other colours are being introduced into contemporary pieces. Background shading in red works especially well and you may have even seen lilac and blues creeping in now as well.
