A journey through tribal history

What exactly is a tribal tattoo?

The word “tribal” means “tribe” and the patterns have thousands of years of roots in different indigenous cultures. They often carried:

  • Symbolism of courage, strength and spirituality
  • Visual markers of tribal affiliation or social status
  • Link to natural elements – such as fire, water, animals or earth


Tattoo rituals were often performed by priests or elders and were both ceremonial and spiritual. The designs were drawn to enhance the individual’s character, protect against evil or convey life transitions.

From tradition to trend – and back

During the 1980s and 1990s, tribal tattoos enjoyed a huge boom in the Western world. The designs were often simplified and spread widely – from the buttocks to the upper arm – which meant that the deeper meaning was sometimes lost.

Why choose a tribal style fake tattoo?

Tribal tattoos are a great way to:

  • Test placement or size before getting a real tattoo
  • Express yourself temporarily, e.g. at a party, festival or photo
  • Build motifs over time – many tribal patterns are easy to expand incrementally

Our tribal tattoos are:

  • Easy to apply and remove
  • Skin-friendly and vegan
  • Printed with Nordic Swan Ecolabel ink
  • Lasts for 1-7 days depending on care


You can choose to spread out several smaller motifs across the body or build a large tribal along the back, arm or chest – it’s entirely up to you.
