antilopen, nessdog: i know what people you refer to and i know what you mean but tribal tattoos did had and still has it's origin in those cultures. it didn't start as a fashion or a trend. people took and still take 'em because they are interested in those cultural backgrounds. plus it was refreshing for some people who weren't interested in dragons, vikings, skull & bones and what had you more back in those days.
let me put it differently, people who take tattoos out of fashion are pretty much dumb and in my eyes they aren't tattooed at all. fashion only works magazine deep. that's the whole point. let me quote didont: "Funny to see people with tribal tattoos which they had done many years ago, its so out right now..." is just an ignorant and generalizing statement just because you don't know the motivation of the people who took 'em.
btw wouldn't call a classic tattoo theme a tendency. yes you see them more and more and again it depends on the motivation. so many people, so many motivations for taking a tattoo. regarding the classics, to me it's just a reappreciation of the old because that's where western tattooing has it's roots.
aliendn: a tattoo doesn't have to mean anything. if you have the desire that it needs to mean something than go with it.
