The Tribal Tattoo Pack: Learn the Ancient Art of Tribal Body Decoration [With Transfers and Paint Brush and Paint]

By Andy Sloss

Book Overview

The art of decorating the body with tattoos dates back as early as the Ice Age. Although the use of tattoos among indigenous peoples is waning, the practice lives on, as more and more people around the world discover body art. Peoples from Central Asia and America, tribes and nomads from North Africa and the Middle East, and the Australian Aborigines and Maories have a long tradition of practicing this art. Each design in this pack is unique and carries its own special meaning, whether as religious symbol, talisman, charm, indicator of status or position, or simply an adornment. The Tribal Tattoo Pack includes instructions and materials to create spectacular tribal designs, including four paints in vibrant, earthy colors, transfer sheets, brush, and instructions. The meanings and myths behind the patterns are clearly explained in the history of this fascinating art.

Tribal Tattoos

This book is very informative as to the history of tribal tattoos. If you want to have a tribal tattoo and actually want to be able to tell people what it means, this is the book for you.

Interesting book

It's light in information, but interesting nonetheless. It has black and white drawings of various tribal tattoos. It also seperates them into sections (by tribes) and gives basic information on each tribe, along with a basic overview of Tattoos in general.I bought the version with the body paints, which I wouldn't suggest. It's awfully gimicy.
