Samoan Tattoo Design
Before you get a tribal tattoo, ask yourself first what a tribal tattoo design really is. The term "tribal" is already a clue to the nature of this particular tattoo category. A tribal tattoo design is most often an original figure or a modified one that draws its roots from real tribes today or of long ago. Since tribes that perform tattooing were or have been around for centuries in different continents, this particular category can have a very broad scope. A tribal tattoo design can therefore trace its origins among tribes belonging to the Maori, American Indian, Samoan, Incan, Aztec and Hawaiian traditions. Of course, these are not the only tribes in the world. There are countless more with their own unique tribal tattoos.
In other words, an original tribal tattoo design is supposed to identify an individual as a member of a particular tribe. Within a specific tribe, there can also be variations to a tattoo design. Differences in designs and placement of tattoos in a tribe can tell such things as social status, role in the tribe, skill and family affiliation.
Why People Get Them
Now, anyone can simply get a tribal design for various reasons.
- One common reason would still be to mark oneself as a member of an ancient or old tribe. Some young American Indians for example would want to get a traditional tattoo associated with their tribe to identify them as modern but true members of that tribe. A tribal tattoo design is therefore a link to an individual's historical and cultural identity.
- For some people who do not really belong to a specific tribe, tribal designs are a way for them to express their own sense of style, fashion, freedom and individuality. For some, tribal tattoos communicate who they feel they truly are.
- Tribal designs are also known to be simply exquisite and beautiful. A tribal tattoo design has strong bold lines and curves that makes it eye catching. You can pick designs that are intricate or simple.
Design Categories
Here are the three major categories of tribal tattoos:
- Authentic - These are original tribal designs coming from actual tribes. Some designs are difficult to find especially if the tribe of origin no longer exists. If you want one you may have to perform some extensive research first.
- Adaptations - Many tribal designs are really just adaptations of original ones. An artist may have been inspired by an ancient pattern and created his own unique tribal tattoo design.
- Custom Designs - These days anyone can make a tribal tattoo design that is based on original patterns and figures. Online sites now offer templates from which you can easily make your own unique tattoo.

Beautiful NatGeo text/photo feature on the old tribes of Ethiopia and Tanzania facing displacement:
Whereas the others invariably don't have a clue but try and railroad their ideas through regardless. Hmmm interesting exercise indeed.
Junkets to exotic locales paid for by pharmaceutical and insurance companies. I dunno, I guess if you choose a doctor who attends these things, then okay. My doctors do not, so I don’t have inflated prices for their services.
I had the honor of working with COL Rick Welch, US Special Forces, from time to time. He’s been in Iraq literally for years — divisions come and go, but the tribes won’t let him go. I asked MG Wolff if he were still around, and this is what he said: Rick is — Colonel Rick Welch is a national treasure. What you — what everyone there needs to understand is that over time, we have gotten a lot smarter about the complex human terrain that dominates the areas which we operate in. I would tell you, from being here in ‘03 and then coming back in ‘06 and now back here in 2010, that’s been the biggest change. We have begun to get it. We recognize that it isn’t — you know, that there are a lot of reasons there are insurgents out there, and the insurgents often are out there because of a problem or what I call a beef. What Rick Welch does so well for us is he’s our reconciliation guy, our reconciliation chief. And Rick has developed superb relationships with all of key tribal leaders,…
lick my clit, eh .. .
During the American Revolutionary War, Native Americans were particularly fearful of future American expansion into their lands, and the majority of tribes chose to support Britain. In particular, the influential Mohawk chief Joseph Brant worked tirelessly to convince the Iroquois tribes to support the British. As a result of his efforts and those of others like him, thousands of Iroquois, Creek, Cherokee, Choctaw, and other warriors joined forces with the British and coordinated independent raids on American arsenals and settlements along the western frontier.
The Native American decision to ally themselves with the British and raid American outposts and towns proved in the end to be a fatal one. Most believed that the British were a sure bet and that the rebellious colonies stood almost no chance of winning. The ultimate British surrender was a huge loss for Native Americans: white settlers were already pushing westward, and after the war, they felt justified in their taking of native lands.
