The process of a tattoo involves penetrating your skin to apply tiny dots of colour, which will make up the finished design. Therefore it is so important that you choose your tattooist wisely. There are so many infections you can get from unsterile equipment, and some are potentially fatal. If your chosen tattooist is a reputable one he/she should have the relevant health & safety certificates to prove their worth.

Looking After Your Lower Back Tribal Tattoo

The aftercare of your tattoo is very important, you don’t want to undo the tattooist’s good work. You must keep your tattoo clean and bacteria free to prevent infection and allow it to heal without damaging your design. After your tattoo is finished the tattooist will wipe it down to clean it and apply gauze or a dressing of some kind. You must leave this on for approximately 3 hours then you take it off and cleanse and dry your tattoo. Then apply an antiseptic cream to your clean tattoo, make sure you wash your hands first because a tattoo is an open wound and should be treated as such. It is important to apply the antiseptic cream a few times a day, this will keep your tattoo moisturised and healthy. When your tattoo starts to form a scab DO NOT PICK IT as this may damage the end result and all your hard work will have been in vain. When the scab falls off naturally the tattooed area looks very shinny, but after a little while the shine will disappear and you will be left with a fantastic tribal tattoo design!

Lower back tribal tattoos have been around for centuries, before we mastered the power of speech we drew pictures to express ourselves.  Most of us have seen the caveman drawings tell tales of hunting and family. So it was a natural step to start and draw on our bodies, the lower back tribal tattoos would tell tales of great battles won and great hunts.  Tribal leader would have lower back tattoos, to show greatness and standing in their community. The best location for a tribal tattoo was the lower back, so that the men following him into battle would be able to see him clearly. Not like today when our leaders are safely at home.  Tribal lower back tattoos were popular with the ladies too, as they gave the illusion of a smaller waist and of course child bearing hips.  Today tribal tattoos for lower back are every bit as popular with men as with women, with low cut jeans, skirts and fitted tops they are in the perfect place to be seen.  But the can be hidden if needed for work or more formal events.  Men tend to go with the very traditional lower back tattoo, black ink in heavy tribal designs. Whereas women go with a mixture of flowers, butterflies, animals etc  incorporating colours within their tribal tattoos which is very effective.
