About Neo-Traditional Tattoos
Neo-traditional keeps the bold outlines and readable subjects of American traditional but adds a richer palette, dimensional shading and lavish decorative detail. The result is instantly legible, but more painterly and ornate.
- Opens the palette wide and embraces subtle gradients and depth
- Layers in ornamental flourishes — jewels, filigree, flowers and art-nouveau curves
- Subjects are classic but elevated: regal animals, vintage-illustration portraits
- The bold outline remains, which is part of why it ages so well
- Look for confident linework plus smooth blends — punch of traditional, depth of illustration
