Tribal Tattoos

Tribal tattoos got their origin in places where ritualistic tattooing took place such as in Polynesia and other Asian islands. The Maori tribe, for example, is famous for their tattoos and techniques. Most of today's tribal tattoos originated with tribal markings that designated membership in a culture. While these tattoos are often freeform and carry little significant meaning to the wearer today, it is important to make sure your tribal design is not offensive or significant to another culture. It is a good idea to do research on any design when you are unfamiliar with its origin
