In tattooing, everyone's mind automatically goes to the tribal tattoo when they hear the word tribal.

When I chose the name for the fanzine years ago, the tattoo tour and eventually for the books, I had something else in mind: Our Tribe, Our Tribal behaviors, Our History and Our Traditions.

In our fast-moving society, these things often get lost or worse, don't matter to folks, to begin with. Our goal is to preserve tattoo history first and foremost and to represent with our books the best of the past and present, offering the reader a unique look into the world of tattooing. - Patrick Kitzel
