Tribal Tattoo History and Symbolism
The Tribal style originates from the old tribes like the Celtic, the Maori tribes, the Haida tribes, the inhabitants of the Marquesan and the tribes of Borneo. What a lot of people now recognize as Tribal is in fact a new style: New Tribalism are the remains of the old Tribal style. Particularly the Borneo style shows a lot of resemblance with New Tribalism.
Concerning all Tribal styles the division in black and white is important. Not only of what has been tattooed must have a good shape but also the parts that have been left blank must also be well shaped. Besides it is more beautiful that the shapes follow your body contours. The balance with Tribals and Ornamentals are very important. That is the reason why it is so important to have a tattoo done by someone who understands the different styles.
The Celtic tribes
The old Celts lived mainly in England and Ireland (before also in France). Round the year
1000 the Celtic civilization gradually disappeared. Typical of this style is interlace,
spirals, dogs, birds and humans

The Maori
tribes
The Maori originate from New Zealand and have traditional facial tattoos (moko) and
special leg tattoos. This tattoo style, that shows a lot of resemblance with the wood
carving of the Maoris, is typical for its spirals. Under influence of the missionaries the
traditional Maori tattoos disappeared round 1900. In those days the Maori were hunted for
their (tattooed) head as a trophy. The facial tattoos of the Maori were individually
designed and they’re for never copied from each other. According to the legend the
facial tattoos were made to be recognized by friends and family once deceased. According
to the story the light goes right through you when you are dead, but your tattoos show
whom you are. Since 1980-1990 there is an uprising of the tattoo phenomenon under the
Maori in New Zealand. For the Maori a tattoo means inner strength and mastering this inner
strength.
The Haida
tribes
The Haida (Indian tribes) lived on the Northwest coast of America. This style of tattoos,
which shows a lot of resemblance with the woodcarving of the Haida, thunderbirds, beavers,
bears, fish and woodcarving are very common. The pictures are mainly about the Indian
astrology. The Indians believed that you partly take over the strength of the animal when
having such a tattoo. The Haida style is a forceful, masculine style.
The Marquesan
tribes
The Marquesan style originates from the inhabitants of the Marquesan Islands in Polynesia.
These islanders used to be completely covered with tattoos. Their bodies showed picture
stories, for other tribes to recognize whom you were, where you were from and what you
did. In the entire Polynesian area the tattoo culture always has been present, everyone
was tattood. The word tattoo is derived from the word 'tatau' that comes from this area.
The Marquesan style is mainly based on the divinity Tiki, who is always portrayed with his
eyes closed because he smells danger before he sees it. Images that are used a lot in this
style are: shells (wealth), shark teeth (protection) lizards, whales, turtles, fish hooks,
and so on. The Marquesan style is a form of language in symbols.
Borneo
Borneo is situated above Indonesia. In former times the headhunters (from the Iban- and
Dayak tribes) had tattoos for protection and as proof of their achievement. That is how
one obtained a spiral in the form of a flower on the front of the shoulders when making a
long trip, but also for cutting someone’s head there was a particular symbol. The
headhunters protected the rest of the tribe that lived in trees. They themselves lived on
the ground and by the looks of their tattoos you could see what they did and what they
have been through. Typical for this style are images of scorpions, flowers, dogs, dragons
and spirals.
