According to most dictionaries, the word tribe means "belonging to, or characteristic of a tribe." As soon as society began to organize, people belonged to tribes, so all ancient tattoos could be considered tribal. Of course, not one tribal style was exactly the same as any other, as tools and techniques differed around the world. But what's interesting is that the desire and tendency to mark our bodies is so ingrained in us that it evolved at the dawn of almost every ancient culture around the world.
A style, often referred to as the neo-tribal, has developed in which artists draw inspiration from the deep roots of the body art tradition, but often with a more modern flair. Tattoo artists around the world blend their unique styles with ancient tribal symbolism to create works rich in heritage and meaning.
