This is totally dependent on the size of the piece that you are doing, the bigger the piece, the bigger the needle set. Typically, I like to fill tribal with a round shader as opposed to a mag. In my opinion you get a tighter grouping without having to really work at it, and for the most part, I hit the edges usually with a 15RS, and then will switch over to a 25RS for the middle fill. Most artists, including myself, will have a machine set up solely for tribal. Having a machine set up for a nice long stroke will give you the optimal results for tribal rather than trying to do it with a typical machine set up for general shade.

Are tribal tattoos still in?
only idiots get meaningless tatoos. tribal=meaningless therefore, tribal=stupid Well, there is your average opinion. As an artist, I feel they are over played, but what really isn't. 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.

What does a tattoo mean?
It's a bit played out that tattoos have to have "meaning" to them. For the most part, tattoos are skin decoration and little else unless you are getting it for tribal purposes related to religion, but in a way all tattoos have some kind of meaning to them, but it is usually only relative to the person that is wearing it.
