"tribal" designs are usually poor facsimiles of indigenous design, if you really want one go to a tattoo artist that specializes in Maori, Samoan, Hawaiian, Coast Salish, etc design and ask them to design something in the vein you want, AFTER you research why you want that style, what it means, and if it's appropriate for someone not raised in that culture to wear it.

Fake "tribal" shit is generic and is associated with a certain type of person - that person is either a meathead idiot or they're not and they regret the tattoo. It's like getting a Chinese symbol without caring if the strokes are correct, anyone who can read it is going to laugh. A lot of legit indigenous design is beautiful and totally acceptable to be shared w/ outsiders, but a lot of it is not meant to be worn as decoration and you're going to look like a shallow fool if you do it anyways. That's why it's frowned upon and discouraged entirely - it's either white trash shit or completely clueless, but it doesn't have to be. Hope that's a good starting point. The easiest option is to accept it's not for you if you can't identify the meaning of anything in the design you want.

example pic related: those shapes all have specific meanings in their contexts and if you pull them out of a grab-bag you're gonna look like a twat. whether u care or not is your choice
