Pattern guide

The tribal Cerakote pattern

Tribal is bold, hooked linework — Polynesian-style spikes and swirls in solid ink over the base. Reads strong from across the room and cuts cleanly as a stencil.

How it sprays

One stencil, one color. This is the easiest of the motif patterns to spray well.

Choosing colors

Black ink over a mid-tone (grey, tan, olive) is the tattoo look; white ink over black is the negative.
