If you're thinking of getting a tribal tattoo design, but you're not sure which idea is right for you - then this guide will help you out. There's many different choices in this category of tattoo, as well as suitable locations - so it can take a lot of time to work out exactly what you want.
Firstly, tribal tattoos are almost always colored with black. This gives them a powerful, bold effect on your skin - they really stand out.
You may like to go for a traditional tribal pattern. You can find particular patterns for specific parts of the body. For example, you can get tribal arm bands - which tend to be thin strips of pattern which go around the bicep/tricep area. You can also get a full tribal sleeve - which is a lot of work in the tattoo artist's chair - but well worth it!
You can also get designs specifically for the lower back, and the area just below your neck.
Alternatively, you can pick a design with a tribal feel. Some of the common images that are used for tribal work are dragons, skulls, butterflies, birds, and other animals which symbolise strength, wisdom and power.
Many designs will be heavily influenced by tribal work, but will still retain the main image. For example, you often see butterfly designs which will have tribal lines surrounding them.
One of the reasons why people are drawn to this style, is because you can choose a pattern that you like - without it having to "mean" anything. The artistic shapes and curves themselves are enough to be worthy of wearing on your body, purely for decoration and artistic reasons. This is especially true for the full tribal sleeve work that is very common nowadays.
