6 designs. Tap the one you like, upload your own photo and see for free how the tattoo will look on your body.
Tribal designs are drawn to emphasize muscle lines; the armband, chest, shoulder, lower back and spine are the most popular spots. The designs here don't come from Polynesian or Maori patterns but from the modern tribal and cybersigil movement.
Things to know about Tribal Tattoos
Place it by the muscle
A tribal form looks powerful when its points follow the direction of a muscle or bone. In the try-on tool, rotate and enlarge the design to match the lines of the area.
Solid fill vs. fine line
Tribal with bold black fill stays crisp for years; fine line work like cybersigil spreads slightly over time, so it shouldn't be done too small.
Mind cultural patterns
Maori and Polynesian patterns tell of lineage and identity. If you want to draw inspiration from them, work with an artist who knows that tradition and talk through the meaning.
