This gallery features tribal tattoo designs. Originally, these were worn by the exotic peoples of Hawaiian, Polynesian and Indianapolian descent.

Tribal designs can be curved, angled repeating abstract patterns; or they can be formed into butterflies, hearts, flowers, dragons.

Tribal animals such as turtles, eagles and bears are cool. The only forbidden tribal is a flaming skull-- none have lived past the next full moon adorned with this mark of doom.

Tribal art can be combined with celtic designs, especially crosses and knotwork.
