Powerful designs

June 12th, 2008 by admin

When we say that tribal tattoo designs are “powerful designs” we are stating a literal fact that the tribes believed to be true about their work. Often tattoos were seen as possessing power and reflecting the power of the warrior. Although used as labels for their experience and accomplishments and even tribal symbols these designs were reflections using animals shapes and more to show the power the warrior possessed. A bear for example is strength, a cheetah grace and power with speed, and so forth. People feared the person with certain ones and often they maintained a healthy respect as well.
