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.

Celtic Tribal Tattoo Design

Celtic Tribal Tattoo Designs are classic works of art that convert greatly into tattoos. It can be rather tough to find the right design for your next piece of artwork online though. I decided to share a little bit of knowledge and help guide you in your quest for finding your next piece of tattoo artwork.

These designs gained inspiration from an ancient method of public relation. When the Romans took over Ireland, Christian priests flooded into the country in order to convert the Celts. The Celts did not use a written language, but they did use an extremely original visual style, which intertwined their love of nature with their attempts to show the complexity of life. They did this with designs that have no beginning as well as no end. By using this style of the early Celts, and combining it with Christianity the priests decorated many of their early Bibles with this fresh style. Resulting in an entire nation being converted to Christianity and the beginning of the Celtic Tribal Tattoo design.

It is not possible to say whether or not the Celts used their designs for tattoos as well. Julius Caesar did however write about seeing Celts with tattoos, although he did not indicate as to what kind they were. Still the distinctive Celtic Tribal Tattoo designs with their intertwining knots and representations of animals and other natural beings have kept their "cool factor" because they are directed on simulating a feeling and emotion rather than a realistic representation of the object.

If you are contemplating getting a Celtic Tribal Tattoo design, be sure and find a tattoo artist that specializes in the form. The background of these designs are filled with horrible versions of creative designs from artists that did not quite understand the task they were trying to achieve. Celtic designs are some of the hardest and most labor-intensive style of tattoo artwork available. Be sure you examine the portfolio of the artist so your tattoo can hold up to its 2000 year-old history.
