About New School Tattoos
New school is loud, playful and cartoonish — exaggerated proportions, vivid saturated color and heavy outlines, borrowing from animation, comics, graffiti and '90s pop culture. If traditional is a poster, this is a cartoon turned up to eleven.
- Emerged in the late '80s–'90s by pushing the bold-outline foundation into wilder territory
- Subjects are humorous, surreal or nostalgic — caricatured animals, characters, graffiti type
- Strong linework and rich, packed color are essential for that clean cartoon finish
- Like all heavy-line color work, well-executed new school ages well and stays punchy
- Find an artist whose imagination and sense of humor match yours
