Tribal tattoos draw from indigenous cultures worldwide, featuring bold black patterns that follow the body's natural contours. These designs carry deep cultural significance and spiritual meaning.
Tribal tattooing represents humanity's oldest tattoo traditions, from Polynesian ta tatau to Celtic knotwork. Each culture developed unique patterns and meanings over thousands of years.
Tribal tattoos emphasize bold linework and solid fills. Traditional techniques like Polynesian tatau use hand-tapping methods, while modern tribal uses machine work.
Tribal tattoos range from $150-400 for smaller pieces to $800-2500+ for large traditional pieces like Polynesian sleeves or back pieces.
Tribal tattoos heal well due to their bold black nature. The strong lines and solid fills age excellently with minimal fading. Standard aftercare applies.
