I am considering a large tribal tattoo. Similar to a pair of permanent "shorts" I have been thinking of this for some time and am just working out the design. I've pretty well drawn up the design, mainly contrasting triangle patterns and large blocks of black with negative images, kind of art deco-ish. It'll be from waist to upper knees, all images bold.. Is there a specific meaning to this type of tattoo? I would like to keep it strickly a work of art and not a particular tribal affliation, though it will have a few polyneasian influences.
If your anti ink please don't reply, all other opionions are welcome.

i am not anti-ink but i am definitely anti tribal if the person getting the tribal tattoo does not belong to any tribe or does not have an ancestry rooted in a tribe with a tradition of tattoos.
i don't look at tribal tattoos as being artful just for the purpose of being artful. i think they have special meaning to the tribes who use them but it's just somewhat ridiculous when someone gets it just because. obviously this is something you have thought a lot about and it's something you have your mind set on so good luck in your tattoo adventure.

They regularly strike me as a lazy solution to get a entire lot of ink performed in a single move. You're really proper, humans are inclined to move get different horribly cliche tattoos which haven't any that means, I dislike the ones too. I consider a giant aspect of the situation is that tribal portions on humans who really certainly are not aspect of that tribe are customarily related to meat-head sort men who desired a tattoo to appear rough however did not wish to move for something girly, like pix. But it is as much as the character, when you wish to get a tribal piece it is your frame and your option.

a true tribal tat, especially a large piece such as the one you are refering to, has special meaning, not just a bunch of shapes, etc. when native tribesmen do the tattoos, they are thinking of the person they are working on, not just placing a bunch of designs on the body. make sure that if you are wanting a "tribal" piece, that it has meaning to you. good luck.

Not anti-ink. anti-tribal tattoos. tribal tattoos are unoriginal, overused, and dumb. why would you get a tattoo that you don't even know the meaning behind? the only tribe you'll be joining is the one of a million other people who have the same tattoo as you.
