1. Randomly choose a tribal design. This is probably the most common method individuals use, and it's unfortunate for a number of reasons. There has been a heavy trend towards tribal tattoo designs in the past ten years, and many have hopped on the bandwagon, gone out and randomly chose a picture of tribal tattoo they thought was "cool". Had it not been trendy they wouldn't have ever thought to choose a picture of tribal tattoo to place on their body. These type of tattoo decisions are the one's where regret later sets in after the trend wears off. Many feel foolish after realizing how "not-unique" their tattoo is while seeing everyone and their brother with a random picture of tribal tattoo wrapped around the arm!
2. Finding meaning. Now finding meaning when looking for a picture of tribal tattoo, can be done out of a weak rationalization that this will somehow justify jumping on the bandwagon. If you truly are after significance in your ink then do your due diligence, but if your a trend hopper then just hop on and be done with it. Fortunately for those seeking symbols or meaning, searching for a picture of tribal tattoo, can be very rewarding and exciting. You can begin by researching the various tribes and finding a picture of tribal tattoo, and learning the meaning behind it. Native Indian, North American Indian, Pacific Northwest American Indian, Indigenous, African, Egyptian, Mayan, Aztec, Hawaiian, Samoan, Maori, South Pacific, Micronesian, Polynesian, Melanesian, are but a few tribal tattoo designs to look into.
3. Incorporating the Modern. This method involves incorporating both modern design with tribal design, but doing so in a tasteful way. This reflects both the current day while also representing the past. Basically a tattoo design is used, say a particular object of some sort, then the picture of tribal tattoo design is incorporated around it, alongside it, or preferably in a way where "equal billing" is given to both the object and picture of tribal tattoo. Many of the weaker versions of this simply have tribal "arms" sticking out from the object. Here the picture of tribal tattoo is essentially demoted to that of flames. Stronger versions of incorporation involve utilizing the tribal tat in a way that works alongside the object in some manner, visually or symbolically.
Finding the right picture of tribal tattoo may seem easy on the surface, but if you are into finding something unique with meaning, then its worth researching. The right picture of tribal tattoo combined with your favorite modern tattoo is also worth much research and thought. Ultimately you want to have your tribal tattoo choice and experience be memorable, and not regretful.
