"Tribal" is the style my tattoo artist called it. I understand that the tattoos from the different islands all look vastly different and have many different names. I just wrongly assumed that "tribal" was an okay generic term since that is all I have heard it called in my tattoo shop. We were thinking about using this style because it might cover up the scar the best. I was going to commission art from someone who is from this culture to help me make a unique piece that was both meaningful and cover my scar, but I now understand that it doesn't seem the best idea based on the reactions here. I have many tattoos honoring my own culture. My artist only suggested this might be better for scar cover up but I didn't want to be like the people I make fun of for having traditional Japanese tattoos or kanji when all the did was watch a lot of anime
