Tribal Back Tattoos Body Art
We have all seen drawings of animals on the cave walls of caveman dwellings and the representations were usually so good we could tell what type of animal they were. Drawing on their bodies became a natural extension of that art form. The inked body drawings that they used were called tribal back tattoos and would tell of great victories and other notable events.
The leaders of the tribe would have special designs that would depict their standing within the community and the most effective place for the tribal back tattoos was on the back so that they could be followed into battle or when hunting for animals. It was a case of follow the leader in those days and those generals led from the front rather than being safely deployed behind their troops which is the case in modern day wars.
