#6: Tribal Butterfly Tattoo
Tribal was never as popular as it was in the nineties, and if you were a girl getting a tattoo in the nineties, the only location was the lower back. This tribal tattoo is also mixed with another nineties woman tattoo staple, the butterfly. Tribal is making a resurgence, and I am sure we will see many more tattoos like this again soon.

#3: Tribal Neck Tattoo
Neck tattoos are awesome. Tribal tattoos are awesome. Neck tribal tattoos are even more awesomer. Is that a real word? No. But, current words can't describe the coolness level of tribal neck tattoos, so get off my back. Point is, if you want to be cooler than a polar bears toenails, get a neck tribal tattoo. You won't regret it.
