Some of the types of designs you can choose from would be celtic designs, tribal designs, octopus designs or Kanji designs (Japanese), just to name a few and of which I will go into more details in this article.
With Tribal designs you have to be very careful not of offend anyone as tribal tattoos generally are used to identify tribes, clans and families. It was intended to allow someone to find his or her tribe and not any one individual in particular. The great thing about these tattoos is that they come from designs created by the ancient civilisations, first imprinted by accident by playing around with fire and burnt sticks. So these tattoos have a lot of meaning from history and have been around for a very long time. Early tribal tattoos were pictures created to honor their gods i.e. flames to honor the sun god.
Tribal tattoos are the most common tattoo and come in a great range of designs. They depict native cultures of the past to up to date graphic designs.
