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.
