Indian tattoos

Tattoos are very popular today and many people today express an interest in getting Indian tattoos. They find the tribal aspect of the designs very beautiful and powerful. Many Indian tribes have the tradition of getting tribal tattoo art done. Today, many young people find out that their ancestors were part of an Indian tribe and wish to receive Indian tattoos representing that tribe. There are a couple of things to consider before you do this. If you are close to the family member that is of Indian heritage, ask them about your tribe and the Indian tattoos that are associated with that tribe.

Most people do not actually have a direct contact with relatives that are members of a tribe. They may have heard from their parents that a deceased grandparent was part Cherokee. The problem with this is not finding out how the Cherokee used tattoos, but actually knowing that the information is correct. Many people find out that they are not actually affiliated with a tribe after they have received the wrong tribal Indian tattoos. You must remember that tattoos are permanent and once you get them, they are hard and costly to have removed.
Some people wear it just as a mark of pride in their culture while others go for it due to aesthetic reasons or because they are fascinated by the art and culture of the country. These tattoos have a distinct look and they are quite attractive. Popular throughout the world, they have been also sported by celebrities. David Beckham’s Victoria tattoo in Hindi is a great example and there are many more. Below is a list of 30 Indian tattoos that will give you more details and information about them. Have a look.

Now, combine these three things. Say you're a young man who really wants to connect with your grandmother's people, really want to make that a part of your life, so you get an elaborate Cherokee facial tattoo. Then you find out she was really Assiniboine. Sorry to put it this way, but you're screwed. A lot of Indians are skeptical of young non-Indians rediscovering Indian roots anyway, think they're not very serious. You think the Assiniboines are going to accept you as one of them when you have Cherokee tattoos all over your face. (In Sioux cultures men don't even tattoo their faces, only women do, so you'll look like an idiot going over and claiming to be related to them.)
