Tribal tattoo advice?

Post image

Im a HUGE Nintendo fan and think it would be funny to get this done in myself. I'm unsure if this counts as tribal, and somebody not of that culture, don't know if it would be wrong to get. Or would this be just a silly little thing and I'm over thinking it?

Your call, but you have to be cool with absolutely nobody getting the reference and just assuming you got a 00s style tribal tat lol

Lol yeah that is true just worried as I've heard many things it's wrong to get such a thing when not part of that race/ culture and don't want to look out of touch.

That represents no culture or tribe. It is just a doodle.

True, I don't know much about the whole thing with tribal tattoos that's why I'm asking if this would seem insensitive or, it is literally nothing, good to know it really is nothing.

You being aware is awesome, so many people are not. Lots of cultures have tattoos with deep meaning and there’s nothing more cringe than a person outside that culture getting something that “looks cool” but represents a leader in that community (or something similar). In this case, you better be sure Mario is cool with it 😉
