Hawaiian and tribal designs are certainly popular amongst the tattoo world. In this article we will combine the two together to get a better understanding of Hawaiian tribal tattoos.
Tribal tattoos have always had a deeper meaning than just the decorations they represent today. Often they indicated rank in the community, skill, or family. As far back as the ancient Celts whose tattoos indicated a warrior’s abilities,
with its representation of both fear and respect was certainly a tattoo to pay attention to. Often the wearer’s rank was expressed by the size and location of the tattoo. The more prominent it was the higher the rank.
Typically, Hawaiian tribal tattoos would be on the leg, arm, face or body. The woman’s tattoo would be on her tongue, hands or wrists. Whether you want a dolphin to reflect the joy you’ve found, a ghost orchid for its rare and delightful beauty, or a tribal band on your arm or leg, Hawaiian tribal tattoos are a great way to express your homage to the Hawaiian culture.
