AMERICANA TRADITIONAL

American traditional tattoos, also known as old school tattoos, are a classic and iconic style of tattooing that originated in the United States in the early 20th century. This timeless style is characterized by bold, thick outlines, a limited color palette, and a distinctive set of motifs. American traditional tattoos often feature traditional symbols like anchors, eagles, roses, hearts, and skulls, among others. The color palette typically consists of primary colors, such as red, blue, yellow, and green, with minimal shading. These tattoos are known for their bold, solid colors that age well over time. The traditional style evokes a sense of nostalgia and pays homage to the rich history of tattoo artistry. If you're looking for a classic, timeless tattoo design that stands the test of time, American traditional tattoos offer a bold and striking option that captures the spirit of tattooing's past.
