For this coming Mother¡'s Day, what special gift or surprise do you prepare to sent to your mom?

Do you know this fashion trend- tribal tattoo for Mom, fashionable for so many years and still go on.

If you don't think the trend exists then you haven't been to the beach or an amusement park on a 90-degree day recently.

It was once said that in the past days when the first popular tattoos were seen on the arms of American soldiers, the most memorable tattoo designs was the heart with a ribbon in the center that displayed the word, "Mom."

Definitely Not Your Typical Tattoo

Polynesian tattoo designs are far more than a mere piece of decorative body art. Tribal art tattoo designs, as often as they're replicated in flash designs, were once seen as a link between man and the gods in Polynesian culture. As legend has it, the Gods taught men the art of tattooing. By being marked through a trial of pain and blood, as the elders claimed, initiates could develop a closer relationship with the spiritual world.

Take the Maori and Samoan tribes for example, Polynesian tattoo designs were a Tapu, or sacred art form. Thus the revered tattoo artists in these societies, were held in the same esteemed regard as the higher echelon virtuosos of today. Yet the community where I lived, saw all tattooing, including tribal art tattoos, as an indication of a degenerate, or at best 'an eccentric' - and eccentric is, in many ways, another word for contemptible.
