Traditional Tattoos

Also known as American Traditional, this style is characterized by bold lines, bright colours, and classic motifs like anchors, roses, and pin-up girls.

 

Techniques & Colors: Bold outlines, limited colour palettes (primarily red, green, yellow, and blue), and minimal shading define this style. The simplicity and strength of the designs make them timeless.

 

History & Popularity: With roots in sailor tattoos of the early 20th century, Traditional tattoos remain popular for their iconic look and historical significance.

Sailor Jerry (Norman Collins): A pioneer in American Traditional tattoos, Sailor Jerry's iconic flash art has left a lasting legacy.
