The Japanese tattoo culture has spread across the west like wildfire in the last 20 years or so. The culture has bled into the western society by means of inspiring the youth through the television media and other means of mass communications. Amongst the wide range of Japanese tattoos that have gained world wide acclaim is the collection of Japanese tribal tattoos.

Judging by the amazing designs of the Japanese tribal tattoos that have been handed down through generations it is not surprising that they have a great appeal on tattoo enthusiasts today. In fact most of the Japanese tattoos that are popular today have some kind of a tribal lineage.

Tribal tattoos are at once recognized because of their style. Unlike the other more colorful tattoos that the Japanese are known to produce tribal tattoos are created using black ink. The natural skin color is used to create the tone. Tribal tattoos often feature extremely intricate designs and patterns and sometimes pictures as well.
