Upon arriving, he naturally had encounters with the native Tahitian\/Polynesian tribes. Cook and his men were in awe, shocked, upon meeting the heavily covered in ink natives.<\/p><p>As Pope Hadrian banned the act of tattooing roughly a millennium prior to James Cook&#8217;s &#8216;discovery&#8217;, <strong>tattoos and body art were simply non-existent in the Western culture.<\/strong><\/p><p>The indigenous folk were covered with the pitch-<strong>black ink to express<\/strong> a variety of things, such as <strong>values, spirituality, war victories, identity or social ranking.<\/strong> You could identify a person by simply looking at a pattern on their ink-engraved body art. Or what we today call, tribal and maori tattoos.<\/p><p>The Captain for the British Royal Navy <strong>documented his sights in his journals. The word he used? Tattoos<\/strong>. That was and still is, <strong>the earliest written use found of the term &#8216;tattoo&#8217;<\/strong> as we define it today. Literally translated from the Tahitian word &#8216;<strong>tatau<\/strong>&#8216;, it means <strong><em>to mark<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p><p>Tatau had been in use for centuries, and it has been speculated that the term &#8216;tattoo&#8217; with the definition &#8216;to mark&#8217; had been used 150 years prior to Cook&#8217;s documentation of the term.<\/p><p>The connection? Well for starters, both terms sound similar. Since &#8216;tattoo&#8217; already existed in the English language it only made sense.<\/p><p>But if we want to dig deeper, the main definition and usage of <strong>&#8216;tattoo<\/strong>&#8216; back then was to describe the <strong>brisk, rhytmic knocking known as the military term &#8216;taps&#8217;<\/strong>. The taps&#8217; rythmic beats that are now used during military funerals, ceremonies and memorials were originally meant for the infantry. That was the call that alerted them to extinguish their lights and go to sleep.<\/p><p>Cook compared that sound with the sound of the inking process by the tribesmen, so logically he figured it&#8217;s a perfect substitute.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-1e2cc2f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"22236\" data-id=\"1e2cc2f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-d7fc0ee\" data-eae-slider=\"4213\" data-id=\"d7fc0ee\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-68b8d92 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"68b8d92\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/tattoogenda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/304903295_1305664516906534_4216811143422994365_n-1024x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1840\" alt=\"A close-up of an upper arm blackwork tattoo featuring bold, Polynesian-inspired geometric patterns and tribal motifs.

A blackwork tribal tattoo is a type of tattoo that features large areas filled with black ink; repeating abstract patterns; geometric shapes and bold lines. Those are the left-over traits from the traditional tribal tattoos, so it&#8217;s a perfect match for those wanting to get a sleeve!<\/p><p>The difference nowadays is that those abstract patterns are modernised. Instead of following the strict rules of a traditional tribal tattoo, tattoo artists will often use other tattoo genres as inspiration, thus neo-tribal.<\/p><p>Tribal tattoos are often seen as &#8216;masculine&#8217;, rough and &#8216;aggressive&#8217;, but a blackwork tribal tattoo can also be quite &#8216;feminine&#8217;.<\/p><p>The best and well-known example we can give you is Dwayne &#8216;The Rock&#8217; Johnson. He&#8217;s a proud owner of not only a tribal tattoo, but of another black ink masterpiece. A tribal blackwork tattoo on his left shoulder, chest and shoulder blade, and on his right arm the massive bull. But that&#8217;d be considered more &#8216;neo&#8217;blackwork as it&#8217;s got a lot of shading, diluted blacks and some white highlights.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/tattoogenda.com\/uncategorized\/behind-the-rocks-symbolic-tattoos\/\"><em>Want to learn about the significance behind The Rock&#8217;s tattoos?

But this also depends on how well you&#8217;re taking care of it. Are you a fan of sun-bathing? If so, you might want to forget about that if you want your new blackwork tattoo to last for as long as possible.<\/p><p>Keeping it moisturized will also help with preserving it, and if it&#8217;s looking a bit dull, shave the area (after it&#8217;s healed of course)! It&#8217;ll make your tattoo glow up instantly.<\/p><p>Since they&#8217;re made with black ink only, some people assume that they fade faster. That is false. Blackwork tattoos fade just as fast\/slow as colorful ones. The reason people might think that is because colorful tattoos are PACKED with color with barely any skin showing through. With blackwork tattoos however, that&#8217;s another story. Empty areas of skin are left in order to create different tones of gray and therefore, shadows.<\/p><p>Since black ink fades to gray, you&#8217;ll notice the fading process immediately, unlike with colorful tattoos. That shouldn&#8217;t be a reason to stop you from getting blackwork artists do their thing on you though. The actual duration of fading is the exact same.
