Among the fist people in the world to use the tribal name tattoos were the ancient Egyptians, Africans, Japanese, Polynesians etc. Different tattoos were religious believes and some were just for beauty and identity.

For instance the Africans used to put on some very complicated tattoos that could only be understood by their fellow tribe’s men and differentiate them from other tribes.

Others who had unique tribal name tattoos were the Japanese whose tattoos were mostly based on the dragons and other forms of arts such as love, evil etc; on the other hand their tattoos were deeply virtualized and formal. From the Polynesians point of view, the needle being placed into the ink, then against the body, injecting the ink into the skin .The noise made from this process is where the name tattoo comes from “tattoo” or “tatau’ as they (Polynesians) would call it.

On the other hand the Egyptians tattoos spread far and wide across the world. They heavily knew and believed that tattoos are a source for beautification of the human body and also in some religions and civil purposes. It’s very clear that the Egyptians have heavily contributed to the tattoo culture all over the world.

The Hawaiian tribal name tattoos date back thousand of years back. The Hawaiian Islands have a very rich tattoo tradition. In Hawaii, the arm tattoo is the most common form of tattoo representing both the popular modern culture of the Hawaii and the previous traditions of the past. The arm tattoo is also a manifestation of the “Tiki” culture popular in the 1950’s and 60s. The Christian tattoos on the other hand are also very common both in the past and in the present day society. It is surprising to note that a lot of Christians nowadays are getting their bodies tattooed commonly with the sign of the cross and the fish symbol. This is a sign of showing just how deep they are into the religion. The Mexican tattoos on the other hand have a very distinctive look that differentiates them (Mexicans) from other forms of tattoos because of their bold recognizable pattern.
