You can walk into a tattoo parlor anywhere in the world, and find their version of crosses, and volumes of traditional tattoo crosses. His symbol has been popular since the Teutonic Period, of the 14th Century, when Knights carried the symbol as a banner of their courage and the kingdoms they served. The crosses can be in the shape of the traditional Iron Cross which first held the symbolic image for bravery and loyalty for Knights, this version of crosses features a shorter set of cross bars and is distinguishable from the Holy Cross by its wider base on each end.

The modern version of the Iron Cross with its mixture of swords, knives, and barbwire, is a popular choice of crosses among those who claim the title of Goth.

Tribal Tattoo Designs Bring Primitive Art to Life

Tribal art tattoos look great, but more importantly, every tribal design has a deeper meaning. When choosing a tribal tattoo, you should consider these meanings, and make sure that you believe in the statement that you are making.

Choosing A Tribal Design Tattoo

There are several different tribal tattoo designs to choose from. There are tribal zodiac designs, suns and stars, religious symbols, and even tribal band tattoos. Each design has a meaning, be it spiritual or societal. This has been the case since ancient times, when tattoos were used either to mark affiliation with a group, or religious, magical, or spiritual beliefs.

Some of the oldest known tribal tattoos existed thousands of years ago. Many of these tattoos depicted the sun and stars to honor the Sun God and the element of fire. Tribal sun tattoos, as well as stars, can vary in size and detail. This makes them adaptable for any part of your body, though the shoulders and back seem to be the most popular locations. If you want to get creative, you can make a chain of tribal stars with a tribal sun image as the center point.

Another choice of recent popularity is zodiac tribal tattoos. The zodiac is the first known celestial coordinate system. The Greek and Roman zodiac is the most popular, but cultures all over the world have applied astrological meaning to the stars for millenia. While there is no scientific basis, many people identify with the traits of their zodiac sign. If you are one of these people, a tribal zodiac tattoo may be right for you.

As stated, tattoos have represented religious meaning for many years. Because of this, many people have chosen to represent their beliefs in primitive ways with a tribal design of religious symbols. Depending on your beliefs, you may want to do some research before you make your decision. The key is to make sure that you use a symbol that is most meaningful to you. From there, you can be creative in your design, or allow your tattoo artist to design a tattoo for you.

Tribal armband tattoos are possibly the most common form of tribal art. Armbands are usually formed of flames, barbed wire, or knot work, but you do not have to stay with the basics. The point of a tattoo is to make it personal, so you can use any type of tribal art that you would like to incorporate in your armband. For example, you could use barbed wire to wrap around your arm, holding a religious symbol or zodiac sign in place. Other images can be incorporated, as well, including animals or words. For something a bit more personalized, armband tattoos can even be modified to fit around the wrist, as well.

Body Tattoo

Technology has helped advance the popularity of tattooing with better longer lasting colors and improvement in equipment. Helping the popularity also is the emergence of reality TV shows like A&E's "Inked". There are even forums on the web for people with tattoos and for people considering getting a tattoo.

There are literally hundreds of thousands of mass designed body tattoo art works available, and, if one of them isn't right for you all that is standing in your way is your imagination and the right tattoo artist.

Tattoo artists, like those featured in "Inked" actually get followings due to the quality of their work. One of my favorite tattoos is a Rosie the Robot from the Jetson's (not that I would ever have one on my skin). There are of course animal tattoos, flower tattoos, bird tattoos, butterfly tattoos, demon tattoos, cross tattoos, heart tattoos, insect tattoos, skull tattoos and unicorn tattoos.

The care that you receive in a tattoo studio must be flawless. There are measures that each tattoo studio must follow in order to ensure a sterile environment for patrons. Each state may have their own laws governing tattoo studios. Some tattoo studios require their artists to have mandatory training in sterilization techniques. Check with the studio.

Also, how do you choose a tattoo artist? Perhaps, like me, you have a co-worker who isn't shy about pulling down her panties to reveal her large flower tattoo.

Word of mouth is the best way to find a tattoo artist. Look at their work. Visit the studio, go several times. Look around, do you like what you see? Are the work areas clean? Do the artists seem to be following guidelines assuring cleanliness? How are they interacting with the patrons? Make sure that you consider the tattoo process thoroughly. Having a body tattoo removed can be painful, and costly too.
