Alot of them have significance to the tribes and the meaning of each part of the patterns. Many of the islander tattoos are passed on from generations.

Tribal is considered one of the most over-done tattoos, and most people get them just because they cannot think of anything better. Most of my tattoos have no meaning to them, and I feel that they shouldn't. I have a bio-mechanical tattoo. Bio-mech is essentially tribal in 3-d. Meaningless, maybe, but I still have it. Who really cares what is a fad tattoo, and what isn't. YOU should get the tattoo because YOU like it.
