Tribal & Polynesian tattoo in Erfurt

Tribal is one of the oldest tattoo styles of all: bold black areas and lines that follow the body instead of just sitting on it. Polynesian work goes one step further. Triangles, waves, spearheads and turtle shells are put together into patterns that actually tell a story.

I don't trace pieces like this from a template, I design them directly for your arm, your shoulder or your leg. Before that we talk about the motifs and their meaning, because I work this style with respect for the cultures it comes from.

What makes Tribal & Polynesian

  • Deep black areas and clean, bold lines
  • Patterns that follow the muscles and curves of the body
  • Polynesian elements: triangles, waves, spearheads, turtle, sun
  • Popular as a sleeve, shoulder and chest piece, calf or armband

Is Tribal & Polynesian right for you?

Skin type
Very well suited to all skin types, because this style works entirely in black and lives on the contrast with the skin.
Size
Anything from a narrow armband to a full body piece. But tribal and Polynesian only really come into their own when they get space. A sleeve or a shoulder piece is the supreme discipline for me.
Experience
Small bands work well as a first tattoo. Large black areas are noticeably more intense and need several sessions, you should know that beforehand.

Good to know: Polynesian symbols have meanings. If that matters to you, we plan the individual elements deliberately around them. If you only care about the shape, that's perfectly fine too. I just want you to know in the end what you're wearing.
