I agree with Doll that those are nice tribals and I have some buddies who have stuff similar to such that BriLaw posted. They're not extreme tribal like some guys or even chicks get to look "hard"... My dislike of tribals fall into the same sorts of tattoos as the barbwire ones do... They're just sorta... Generic and a bit trashy. Yet incorporated into an awesome design like a flower or an animal they can be nice and easy to add more art around them.
I also think tribals for heritage, so long as the heritage has historically done tribals can be understood as to why one may get one. I personally would never get one simply because one, I'm so small and dainty; two, I wouldn't ever want one on my body just due to the difficulty to cover or remove such tattoo; and three, my heritage is all European for generations even though I am very much American even though I'm only third generation.
So here's a question to y'all, what tattoos do you consider somewhat over done or taboo?
I personally think crosses and religious ones are getting wayyy over done despite their often purposeful meaning to those who get them. I also see some as taboo such as getting a S/O's name tattooed just because things change. Oh tramp stamps too, just not a fan haha but that's just me (then again dad said I'd be disowned should I ever get a tramp stamp).
