Tattoos are not only adopted by people as a fashion statement, but they also portray their character and persona. Mexican tattoos are symbolic. Such tattoos are inspired by Mexican civilization and culture. The designs are similar to tribal tattoos, marking the difference between tribes and depicting an individual’s social status.

Mexico, or the United Mexican States, is a republic bordered by the United States of America, Guatemala, and Belize, as well as the Pacific Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico.  With an estimated population of more than 111 million, there are many, many people of Mexican descent living within Mexico and around the world.  Tattoos displaying pride in this cultural heritage and ancestral inheritance are an increasing part of tattoo culture and the body modification community.
