Tribal moon tattoo

Bold black patterns drawn from Polynesian, Maori and Bornean traditions — interlocking shapes that wrap the body's contours. Modern tribal ranges from heritage-respectful pattern work to contemporary graphic interpretations. Solid black, built for muscle flow, and utterly permanent in feel.
A moon carries cycles & change, femininity, intuition — and Tribal's solid black give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the spine, wrist, behind the ear.
