Religious Tattoos
The idea of religious tattoos may seem counterintuitive, for several reasons – not only is tattooing prohibited by some religions, such as Orthodox Judaism, but until recently, tattoos were associated with a vaguely disreputable counterculture that seems at odds with religion.

Why Tribal Tattoos?
Natural Tribal Tattoos
Tribal Tattoos are extremely popular and can add a distinct 'je ne sais quoi' to a person's character. The real beauty of tribal tattoos is that they don't have to be loud and obnoxious useless you want them to be, but rather subtle and stylish. It is a style that typically capitalizes on solid black lines and coloring (with some exceptions of course) and it is also composed of pointed and curved elements. It's bold and eye catching. In short, it's a pretty wicked looking style!
Tribal Tattoo, tattoo ideas
Tribal arm Tattoo ideas
Tribal tattoos, as the name implies, originated among Native American tribes and date back to over 5,000 years. Perhaps they are so prevalent among fraternity brothers due to the fact that the tattoos were originally applied to show loyalty to a particular tribe in native lands.
Later on, tattoos were used to create scenes on the body depicting battles the tribe member took place in. They were also used as memorials for loved ones who had passed away, their memory honored in the form of a soaring eagle.
Tattoos were certainly not limited to Native Americans, however. The Yokuts of California used body modification to call attention to the location of a person's supernatural power; the indigenous tribes of New Zealand, Africa, Central America and Hawaii also practiced the art of tattooing.

Koi Tattoos
The popularity of Koi tattoos is growing everyday. So what makes these brightly colored fish so popular? Many just like their ornamental beauty and bold colors, while others choose a koi because of the symbolism that it represents. So what does this magnificent fish represent?
Koi originated in China and they were introduced into Japan in the 1800's. According to Chinese legend, it is believed that if a koi succeeded in climbing the Yellow River falls to "Dragon's Gate" then it would be transformed into a dragon. This symbolizes worldly aspiration and advancement. In Japan they are considered a manly symbol and according to legend, if a koi climbs the waterfall bravely, and if they are caught, they will lay on the cutting board completely still facing their death bravely just as a samurai would. Based on that legend, the Japanese associate koi with perseverance and strength.
Koi fish are very powerful and energetic and they can swim against the current to reach food or spawning ground. This fact also has bearing on whether people have their koi tattoo swimming up or down. It is said that if the fish is swimming upstream then you have overcome a hardship during trying times. If it is swimming down, then you are struggling with a hardship. However others translate this to mean that a koi tattoo swimming upstream represents a very independent person that has very little concern for what others think. You would rather be your own person and face the challenge of swimming against a hard current than to conform to the rules of society. This is an act of power and you cannot be deterred by anything.
Koi symbolism is also associated with:
* Good luck
* Wealth
* Bravery
* Independence
* Masculinity
* Power and perseverance
There are many varieties of koi and they vary in color and design. Many people believe that the color of the koi tattoo should be in harmony with you and your surroundings. Some of the more popular breeds and their colors are listed below:
* Asagi - Light blue top surface with red underside
* Bekko - Red, white or yellow with black markings
* Butterfly Koi - These come in many colors but are known for their long fins and slender bodies
* Goshiki - Black background with white, red, brown and light blue markings
* Hikari Moyomono - Two colored fish with one of the colors being metallic
* Kin Gin Rin - Reflective scales make these fish shiny metallic colored
* Kohaku - White with red markings
* Koromo - Ordered scales with blue edges
* Ogon - Single colored
* Showa - Black with red and white
* Taisho Sanshoku or Sanke - White, red and black
* Tancho - White with a red spot on its head
* Utsurimono - Black and red or white or yellow
In addition to their symbolic meanings, these tattoos are some of the most beautiful works of art that you can have on your body. Many people add water, a waterfall or flowers to their design. Another popular alternative is to have two or more koi swimming together. The possibilities are endless, and no matter what the reasoning or symbolism is behind your koi tattoo, this is one design that you will truly love forever.

Placement of Tribal Armband Tattoos
A tribal armband tattoo always goes on the arm by nature. When the design is done on the wrist it is often referred to as a bracelet or cuff design. Tribal Armband tattoos, therefore, are most often placed on the upper arm typically where your bicep muscle is the largest. Thus it extenuates the muscle in your arm. However they can also be placed on the forearm as an alternative but they are then much more visible so this needs to be considered beforehand.
Tribal armband tattoos
Tribal armband tattoos are symbols of power that have been worn by many cultures for thousands of years. Not only do they look powerful but they are a way to connect to the animal and natural world.

As with the real thing, flower tattoos are both beautiful and symbolic of many things. A lily alone, for example, means different things in different cultures. For some it is a symbol for purity and for others can represent erotic love.
For Asian cultures, the heavily symbolic lotus flower brings good luck, tranquility and rebirth. Whatever flower you choose to represent on your skin, whether alone or in a bouquet, can make a profound statement about what you identify with.
You even can express entire messages with flower arrangements. If you would like to promise to be faithful to your first love, this can be represented by a lilac surrounded with ivy. Those that view themselves as brave and lucky, or perhaps want to be, can link a chain of delphinium and stephanotis as an armband.
