Tribal

In case you are looking for tattoos that are bold but do not require complex imagery, then tribal tattoos should definitely be on your list of tattoo ideas. Inkbolt presents a variety of tribal-inspired designs that come in many forms: from simple finger pieces and symbols to larger armbands and sleeves, so you are guaranteed to find a design that suits both your preferences and desired size.

And the secret lies in figuring out what design size you really require. The tribal style can be minimalist and crisp or large and dense.

What Are the Features of Tribal Tattoos?

The characteristics of tribal tattoos generally include strong lines, repetitive motifs, geometric shapes, and high-contrast artwork. It is possible to create a striking design even using very simple patterns.

This allows you to experiment with various styles without limiting yourself to only one option. And there is no need for a big tattoo to obtain the look of tribal tattoos.

For those who like simple body decoration, finger designs or small symbols can be recommended.

Pick the Right Style for Your Personality

And it could actually be quite straightforward.

Looking for a simpler and more streamlined look?

Try going for the smaller geometric shapes, knots, or symbols. They work better with your everyday outfit and are not overwhelming.

Looking for something edgy?

A thick tribal armband will provide that stronger visual effect around the arm.

Looking for something artistic?

Then go for a design with a bigger area such as a sleeve.

Looking for something unique?

Then consider designs inspired by animals with the sharp visual language of tribal tattoos.

The current collection offered by Inkbolt features items such as Tribal Cat, Celtic Knot, Tribal Sun, Warrior's Mark, Tribal Armbands, and The Tribal Sleeve.

Armband or Sleeve: Which One Should You Choose?

This is one of the most important decisions to make while purchasing tribal body art.

An armband is a nice option in case you like a clear band around your arm, but do not need something very big. Armbands are also nice to wear with casual clothes and placed in accordance with your visibility desires.

The sleeve is an even more dramatic design. Sleeve requires much more space and is ideal for those who prefer continuous detailed artwork on their arms.

Do not pick the second option just because it looks cool online. Instead, think about what you would feel good wearing.

Consider Placement First

Placement can dramatically affect the appearance of tribal design.

Finger: Small and discreet, especially minimalistic designs

Hand: More noticeable option, great for compact artworks

Forearm: Ideal for symbols, animals, and elongated designs

Upper arm: Provides necessary space for larger artworks

Chest: Perfect for symmetrical or centered artworks

Back: Good for bigger compositions

Neck: Perfect for those who do not have problems with highly noticeable body art

Also, take into account friction. Those areas of the body which contact frequently with watches, clothes, and accessories tend to wear out faster.

Why Try Semi Permanent Tattoos?

Uncertain whether a tribal tattoo is what you really want? This is where semi permanent tattoos come into play.

The design may appear great when shown on the screen but may appear too big when placed on the skin. Temporary use will help assess its size, positioning, and overall appearance before making an irreversible choice.

This is especially important when using bold tribal designs because even the slightest size modification can affect the appearance of the pattern.

Inkbolt’s line of tribal designs features not only large and medium but also small 2x2 and 3x3 inches tattoos.

How to Get a Better Result

Prior to application of your tattoo, ensure that the skin is clean, dry and oil-free or free from moisturiser.

After application, refrain from rubbing it unnecessarily and avoid sweating, friction and constant exposure to clothing as these will also influence the duration of your temporary tattoo.

As a novice, it may be wise to begin with a small tribal tattoo.

Find Your Unique Tribal Design Tattoo

Your tribal tattoo must match both your personality and skin just like any other tattoo. You need to begin with how bold you want your design to be, think of the placement and go ahead and give out a try of the smallest possible tattoo.

With Inkbolt, you have an opportunity to get your hands dirty with tribal semi permanent tattoos without having to permanently get one.
