Wow Kevin is now tattooed

Today Kevin had a tattoo on his upper arm, it was using Tribal Art, there was two tattoos he liked, he joined the elements of the designs that he liked and expanded it with the tattooist.  It was larger than i expected, probably about 15cm.  It looks pretty good,  It took 1 1/2 hours to do and it was very painful to do and he is still very sore.

Tribal art is an umbrella term used to describe artefacts and objects created by the indigenous peoples of (controversially named) primitive cultures. Also known as Ethnographic art, or Arts Primitive ^[2] Tribal art has three primary categories.

• African
• New World or Americas
• Oceania

It can be thought of as folk art, often containing ritual/religious significance pertaining to the custom within a particular tribal culture ^[3] Typically originating in rural areas, Tribal art refers to the subject and craftsmanship of artefacts from small-scale societies (tribes).
Tribal art originates within three distinct geographical regions as categorised above.

• Africa. generally sub-Saharan
• Americas (e.g., the Inuit, Plains Indians, and some remote areas of Central and South America),
• Oceania (notably Australia, Melanesia, New Zealand, and Polynesia).

The characteristics of a society that produces tribal art include:^[2]

• Political and economic isolation from major civilizations in Europe, North Africa, or Asia
• An oral tradition, often without literacy or written language.
• Independent communities, normally in villages of low population size, using an hereditary form of social organization.
• A tribal based, hand tool, craft specialization,
• Subsistence by hunter-gathering or small-scale agriculture.
• Slow rates of technological development prior to contact with Europeans
