Tribal by Jeroen Franken - Blackwork Tribal Tattoo Motifs
For tattooers and collectors who study blackwork and pattern, Tribal is a serious reference in stark black and white—hand-drawn designs built around clarity, rhythm, and strong form.
Jeroen Franken’s work carries tradition and years of drawing experience. In Tribal, he goes directly from pen to paper, exploring bold, geometric tattoo motifs and ornamental compositions that feel both ancient and immediate—designed to be studied, not just scrolled past.
This book is especially useful if you want to:
- Study shape, flow, and negative space in blackwork composition
- Build a stronger vocabulary for tribal tattoo motifs and pattern
- Use reference to improve readability and structure in your own drawings
Foreword by Henk Schiffmacher.
