Tribal arm Tattoo ideas

Tribal tattoos, as the name implies, originated among Native American tribes and date back to over 5,000 years. Perhaps they are so prevalent among fraternity brothers due to the fact that the tattoos were originally applied to show loyalty to a particular tribe in native lands.

Tribal Tattoo, tattoo ideas

Tattoos were also used to display a person's caste status, wealth, role in the tribe, even to document his brave deeds or societal contributions. They also served a purpose when it came to traveling, tribal tattoos clearly identified a stranger as belonging to a neighboring sect and detailed what rank he held.

Later on, tattoos were used to create scenes on the body depicting battles the tribe member took place in. They were also used as memorials for loved ones who had passed away, their memory honored in the form of a soaring eagle.

Tattoos were certainly not limited to Native Americans, however. The Yokuts of California used body modification to call attention to the location of a person's supernatural power; the indigenous tribes of New Zealand, Africa, Central America and Hawaii also practiced the art of tattooing.

If your interested in getting a fairy tattoo there are a few consideration that you need to make. One, Fairy tattoos are flexible in their design, the size can easily be adjusted and they can look great on just about any location on the body. But, you still need to take into account your body shape and the location of where your going to put the design. After all, your fairy tattoo is going to be a permanent part of your body so you just don’t want to slap it willy-nilly on just any old body part. The other thing you should consider is the mood and pose of the fairy. Of course a fairy can be done in a cartoon style with a cute cartoon style girl. Or it can be a very realistic looking fairy. The mood of the fairy will convey a lot for the meaning behind the tattoo. If you just want to get the tattoo to get one then it is better to wait and carefully make your decision. The last thing that you need to consider is the general color of your fairy tattoo. Since they are a mythological creature, your options are practically unlimited here though. Want a purple fairy? Then go for it. Your imagination is your only limitation.
