OUR STORY
Tribal Markers began as an experiment in human connection and a gift at Burning Man in 2003 by Artist Amir Magal.
Body art is a way to connect to people from different backgrounds and cultures, there was an instant feeling of giving and receiving creating a sense of belonging and unity.
Amir brought this concept and experience back to Los Angeles. For over ten years, developed the craft of tribal marking,
As a professional photographer, Amir used tribal markings to add a unique, personal touch making them more meaningful and memorable. Over time, Tribal marking evolved into a full ceremony of markings and portrait sessions.
Collaborating with artists and movements including Jason Mraz, Nahko, walk the Moon, Google, Sony & Toyota activating their communities.
"We get to spread the message of connection, movement, and play, it's what we need right now." - AMIR MAGAL
