TATTOOS IN ANCIENT AFRICAN STYLE
Custom Tribal tattoos created by me with African designs like shields, masks and Adinkra symbols
We can also consider these tattoos as tribal, like Polynesian, Maori, Aztec tattoos . These are tattoos created with African patterns, without grays or colors, with defined lines and solid black areas, and clean skin (negative space). In fact, we can make something similar to the classic Polynesian tattoos.

What elements make up an African tattoo?
We can add African designs and elements like shields, spears and African masks. Also Adinkra designs: symbols of the ancient peoples of Ghana, representing the wisdom of the Akan people. They have been used in diverse contexts, such as textiles, ceramics, and architecture, to convey messages while also embellishing the pieces.
