Inspired by traditional tribal tattoos, this collection of new artwork is an excellent sourcebook for bold and interesting designs from a range of cultural and historical sources. This reference features a wide variety of styles—from the fine line work of henna patterns to black work patterns that incorporate large solid areas to motifs, such as totems, talismans, and free–form designs—combined with repeating elements, including triangles, spirals, suns, and barbed wire, to create body art that makes a bold visual statement of individuality that is rooted in traditional tattoo art. Additional information on the symbolism and meaning associated with the attributes of each tattoo is included to make this a comprehensive sourcebook on tribal tattoo art.
