#51 – Tribal Tattoos

18 12 2009

Much the same as a herd of warring goats, bogans closely associate success and social prominence with pursuits relating to physical prowess. Finding a convenient way to channel the spirit of the gladiator in order to become the alpha of their town or suburb can be critical to the self-worth of the bogan. The bogan has a vague awareness that over the millennia, there have probably been thousands of brave feats of killing things performed by warrior-like people. But, opening a book to figure out what, where, and when can be quite threatening. Thousands of bogans have discovered that a quick and effective way to appropriate the battle markings of this imagined warrior is through a tribal tattoo.

Tribal tattoos serve another important function for the bogan; they actually allow it to convince itself that it is culturally and artistically aware. Because tribes are probably from some other culture, the bogan becomes proud of its open-mindedness and ability to embrace the thuggish tendencies of an abstract people from another era and/or community. By doing so, the bogan displays tolerance and acceptance of all people, and deeply connects with the cosmos.

Secondly, tribal tattooing allows the bogan to express its artistic ability. The bogan enjoys being able, upon enquiry about its tattoo, to state that he/she “designed it myself”. Designing a tribal tattoo requires the capacity to draw up to 60 arced or swirled lines with no defined spatial or thematic structure, and to then pass it off as inspired expression. Just as this was within the capacity of the glistening trail of a snail on a slab of hot concrete, the bogan is also able to triumph in this endeavour. Jagged lines in the design depict battle-readiness, hardness, and other unspecified warrior traits.

The bogan male is aware that a tribal tattoo is best displayed on a broad, warrior-like piece of flesh. Some bogans will achieve this through making their biceps huge at the gym, while others will eat more fatty food than they ever should. The female bogan also expresses interest in acquiring tribal markings, though generally in the form of a tramp stamp.

By expressing itself through the permanent application of a tangle of unintelligible and meaningless lines to its body, the bogan attains the status of artist, creator, warrior, and, perhaps most importantly, suitable breeding partner.

Strangely it’s the gay (porn) aesthetic – which I assume has an identifying function for performers whose faces might not be in shot. Yakuzas & surfers also want to be identifiable without the full corpse present. So tough bogans look like gay porn stars- or have something other than a day job . . .

I have a distant cousin (twice or thrice removed) who proposed to his girlfriend through the medium of tattoo art. She said yes and then got her response likewise tattooed. Suffice to say they never actually married each other.

I can’t agree with unimaginative Tubesteak. If you have seen the work of some of the worlds best tattoo artists you would know there is some incredibly imaginative and beautiful art around. A lot of them you will never see in public as they are on backs etc. Not obtained in order to show off to others but for the genuine love of the art form.

Some of the most educated and unbogan people I know are covered in tatts
including knuckles, toes and chests.
There is nothing more they hate than people with tribal tattoos and southern cross tattoos.
Don’t lump all people with tattoos in the same bogan category.
This blog is about the new bogue who is probably likely to be the one who scoffs at those with lots of tattoos calling them the bogan when in fact they are, as they have declared it loudly on their bicep with their southern cross or tribal.

Tribal tattoos on people with no link whatsoever to tribal ancestry are ridiculous.
As for the southern cross, I got mine 15 years ago, long before the associated fuckwit factor and more than likely before the majority of said fuckwits baring this same tattoo even started school.
As H said we can’t lump everyone with tatts in the same category.

I feel your pain. 20 years ago, when you could still go to the cricket with a flag and not be embarrassed, I flirted with the idea of of a Southern Cross tattoo given my youth and exuberant patriotism at the time.

Fortunately I thought better of it and just as well as now you’d be inadvertently tarred with the same brush as the cape/flag wearing crusaders that were mentioned early on in TBL at Gallipoli or a music festival.

Tribal tattoos is what TBL’s blog post is about, not tattoos per se. And, as further clarification, it should be noted it pertains to FAKE tribal tattoos, that is, tribal tattoos you get when you haven’t anything to do with that specific group of people. The sort an individual gets simply because they think they look good. Tribal tattoos belonging to an indigenous group have specific and special meaning and should not be hijacked by people merely wishing to look “bitchin'”.

But aren’t all tattoos “got” because someone thinks they look good? What about a bit of the ole Mary & Jesus ink? It may have some significance for the wearer, but was mostly chosen because of the way it looks.

One thing the tatooed always say to me is “You either get it, or you don’t. I just like tattoos.” They don’t always have to mean something. Why someone would get needles repeatedly thrust under their skin for beauty… well, I just don’t get it. Sorry tattooed husband!

Annette, Tribal tattoos have specific significance in the places they originated. They were not chosen because they looked good; they were linked to title; position; new stages of life such as initiation in man/womanhood; stages of warriorhood; and the like. The symbols contained within the tattoo have meaning; the actual ceremonies of getting the tattoo drawn (very painful, traditionally) also have special meaning.

Yeah most of the people I associate with are covered with awesome tatts, but knuckles and necks are going a bit too far imo… although girls with subtle neck tattoos are hot.

I have a tribal sleeve and a Japanese sleeve. The tribal was to cover a badly scarred arm so I don’t claim to be anything other than a big fan of tattoos and body art.

TBL – this post isn’t all that impressive! Kind of rehashing the tramp stamp one (which was waaaay funnier!)

I love the bogan that gets the barbed wire, chain link or tribal gunk a little too late after it was cool. Not only has he now officially killed the trend, but has also been left with a permanent reminder of his stupidity.

Bogan moment: A neighbourhood chum of mine went and photographed his burnouts from the night before and had a tattoo artist model the results into a tribal tattoo. The rubber is gone from the tarmac but the stupidity remains forever inked into his shoulder. When I asked him why he did something so stupid he replied “Thats why I didnt tell you I was doing it. Your negative attitude would have changed my mind…”

On another point I’ve never understood why you’d get a tattoo of some dead relative as to somehow ‘honour’ them. Exactly how does marking yourself up honour them?

It is just as ridiculous to say I’m going to wear this badge on the front of my shirt that I’ve made up to ‘honour’ X as a tribute to them for the rest of my life.

My brother karked it last year and someone asked me whether I was going to ink up? Exactly what for I asked? Firstly I didn’t as I can’t see the point and secondly I can hear my brother saying now ‘mate, don’t be a tool’.

You honour someone by remembering them, you don’t honour them by defacing your body. You may as well go out a graffiti their name on the front of your driveway for all of the sense that doing something like that makes.

I see your point Muz and I do agree however I see it as a matter of personal preferrance.
I have designed a tattoo of my daughter’s name (which I will get in the winter time), this will be my own way of having her with me always as my work takes me all over the state sometimes for weeks at a time and I miss her a lot when I’m away.
As for a dead relative I believe everybody honours them in their own way and whether it be through fond memories, photos or tattoos any way you do this is as noble as the last so long as you are at peace with which way you decide to do so.

It is true that many Bogans seek to climb the hard-man ladder and be the alpha male of their workplace, suburb, street or failing that, house.
Nothing expresses the hardness factor like a Celtic band scribed onto a flabby arm in Thailand, to declare that “you better not mess with me coz I’m tough, I survived a beating @ a Freo pub from 3 bouncers (Hello brother in law, if u are reading this)
However, I have observed that Danny Green, AKA ‘the Green Machine’, or affectionately ‘Greeny’ hold some sort of unattainable status worthy of worship as a supreme being. He has the tribal tatts, he has it all.

I remember about 15 years ago tribal tattoos started off as quite simple, fine ink-work that was usually small and proportionate. Then as the footy players started getting them they became huge thigh to neck, aggressive, heavy swirling, jagged pieces of shite that they have become today. What they don’t realise is all that all the black work is going to fade back to pale/patchy grey eventually and they will need to re do if they want it to look good after 10 years. By then of course they’ll be over it

My cousin has one on his arm and it also looks pretty. Even Funnier though, My cousin recently got two hands together, like praying, with rosary beads wrapped around them. A month later my cousin also got rosary beads. The irony of this is neither of them are religous. We all had a religious upbringing, but none of us are practicing catholics. I laughed in my cousins face when she told me the meaning behind the beads “Grandma and Grandad are Religous” WTF?? Apparently one of the celebs has beads, and im pretty sure its what inspired the tatts!!

They want to stand out from the herd, yes, but only in the carefully-designated, socially-acceptable way. You have to express your individuality in an identical manner to the rest of the Bogan Peer Group, or you run the risk of being labelled an Outsider.

I’ve definitely lived the ‘country bumpkin bogan’ lifestyle as well as the ‘inner city snob’ one and I have to say I admire the bogans resilience to the knocks of life far more than the women driving around in massive fwd that have never had a speck of dirt on them and their 20 year ‘children’ that still call them ‘mummy’.

you realise the massive 4wd women are also largely bogan, don’t you.

Ha ha.

Also commenters on this site are more likely to walk/cycle and have many specks of dirt?!

I want to be totally ballsy too – besides tattoos what other mutilation will be helpful?

Maybe they should add another another category to TBL…..posting your comments in a forum to bag out other bogans. Just a thought
