The Significance Of Tribal Tattoos

The human connection can be seen through tribal tattoos. While people may be separated by thousands of geographical miles or even thousands of years, they can still feel bonded to a particular group of people through the use of tribal tattoo designs.

A quick search on the internet can give you many studies and research projects discussing the multiple ways in which a tattoo can be placed on a person, as well as why it was, and still is done.

Tribal tattoos were also used within a particular group to indicate a certain level of rank or status. A group might have used a certain body tattoo on someone who was the chief or leader, and a different type of tattoo for the soldier members of the group.

Prisoners or other outcast type groups would likely have been branded with an identifying tattoo to show that they had been rejected by that particular society.

While tribal tattoos aren't seen as often in our world today, they still hold meaning for certain tribes in third world countries. We may not understand the use of those particular tribal tattoo designs in North America, but they are important to the people in those countries.

Gangs have adopted the use of tattoos to show their commitment to the gang, and also a single person may have a tattoo which to them reflects their heritage and family history.

Still others will decide to get a tattoo representing a tribe, but only have chosen it because they like the look of it.
