Tribal tattoo designs have been very popular for the past fifteen years or so. In fact, there is something of a backlash against tribal tattoos, as they are now sometimes seen as being for people who simply want to jump on the bandwagon. This doesn’t have to be the case, though. You can still find tribal tattoos that have real meaning for you. Here are five tips to help you make a good choice if you are considering a tribal tattoo design.

• Don’t Be In A Hurry. A tattoo is a long-term, usually lifelong commitment. On average, a tattoo lasts longer than a job, place of residence or a marriage! So there’s no reason to rush into it. Even if you think you’ve made a choice, consider other possibilities. You can find many images to look at, either online or at a tattoo parlor. You may find something you like even better. Also give a lot of consideration to where you want to place your tattoo. This is especially the case with tribal tattoos, which other people can react to in ways ranging from curiosity to hostility (often because they don’t know what it means).
   
• Learn the Meaning. Some people choose designs simply because they think something looks cool. This is fine as a way to pick a tattoo, but only if you first do a little research. It’s like seeing a person and falling in love at first sight. You don’t necessarily want to marry the person right away; you should first get to know them a bit! With tribal tattoos, a particular symbol can have a specific meaning. You should at least know what it is. Also remember, after you get your tattoo, lots of people will ask, “what does it mean?”
   
• Respect the Tradition. Tribal tattoos are sometimes considered disrespectful. This is from the perspective of traditional people who come from a certain ethnic background and see people who don’t share this heritage displaying these symbols. Now you may not be able to change the mind of anyone who is a strict traditionalist, but you can still research the tradition whose symbols you are borrowing and take it into consideration before you get your tattoo. For example, you may not want to display a religious symbol when you don’t belong to that religion; or display a sacred tribal design next to another tattoo that might be seen as vulgar or sacrilegious.
   
• Know Your Artist. If you are getting a tribal tattoo, make sure the artist who is going to do it is comfortable working with this kind of design. There are great tattoo artists who can do almost anything well, but there are others who are better at some kinds of designs than others. Just because someone can do a great eagle tattoo doesn’t mean they can be trusted to do Chinese calligraphy, for example -and vice versa.
   
• Ask Yourself If the Tattoo Fits With Your Lifestyle. This is true of any tattoo. In some cases, when you think about your overall lifestyle, such as the job you have, the company you keep and so forth, you may decide to put your tattoo in a less obvious place. In some cases, you may decide on a less brash design. Just because you are drawn to a design or find it exciting or beautiful doesn’t mean it’s right on your body. Maybe it is, but you should really think it through first.
