tribal design
Native decorative motif
Tribal design refers to bold, abstract patterns inspired by the tattoo traditions of indigenous peoples—particularly Polynesian, Maori, and Native American cultures.
The style features thick black lines, geometric shapes, and interlocking curves.
The term often describes tattoos that became popular in the 1990s, frequently criticized as culturally appropriative or generic: He got a tribal design on his bicep in college and now regrets it.
