Style: Tribal

The designs are often black in color, abstract, bold silhouette looking. Some of the idea is to complement the shape of the body they are placed on. They have a strong base in traditional form. To get a successful Tribal tattoo, you must choose an artist that not only knows how to tattoo, but who understands how the design must relate to musculature and bone structure as well. You can also modify the tribal style by mixing it with shaded detailed shapes/parts if you like how that looks. Common themes are triangles and abstracts sharp curving bold objects.
