I don't know what the hell happened to this thread, why is everyone jumping on everyone else?
About the tribals, this sums it up well:
The term tribal is most often applied to the indigenous people of a nation including, but not limited to, the Native Americans, Aztecs, Mayans, Eskimos, and Maori.
Native tribal peoples display a vast variety of social and ethnic customs; yet they have all developed some basic common elements: a traditional way of life rooted in stability, peace, respect for neighbors, and an attempt to live in harmony with the natural environment.
"Tribal tattoos are often influenced by art from native, indigenous tribes. Such tattoos include Maori patterns, Eskimo totems and Aztec sun clocks. Other types of tribal tattoos rely more on the use of heavy lines to create an image. These tattoos often consist of black linework but color tattoos are becoming more frequent in this category."

You know, and feel free to respond...PLEASE. I, personally, have two tattoos both very simple and not where evryone would see it (like lower back or whatever). I was acually at a tattoo place the other night and this woman wanted to get a martini glass done. Agh..I was speechless. Just....THINK ABOUT IT FIRST, for at the VERY least a few weeks. I have a blue star on my back shoulder and the other is very small on my torso I guess? not on it but a bit higher, but on my said. If I stood up and put let my arms hang down, it's basically where my elbow would line up.
sort of hard to describe. I hope that makes sense a little sense. The one my side is maybe a half an inch high and very simple, it's in hebrew (3 symbols) and the language was chosend for a certain reason, not to mention the symbols. whic are just small and in black. The other one is on my back shoulder. But anyway, the one on my side, no one really sees at all and considering I got it because it means something to ME...I don't go around showing it to everyone and usually peoplecan see the star on, but the other one is so meaningful to me, I don't need anyone to see it.
I was actually thinkig I may get another. My friend sent me an amazing design...if anyone is intersested in seeing it...PM me.
My personal opinion on tattoos (don't jump on me if you don't happen to agree...This is going to be with you for pretty much the rest of your life..
