ARE YOU A FAN OF NEO TRADITIONAL TATTOOS?

Neo traditional tattoos are one of the most popular styles in the tattoo world right now, but what exactly does neo traditional mean? The neo traditional style combines elements of both traditional and modern tattoo designs, often featuring bold lines, vibrant colors, and a mix of familiar and unique subject matter.

However, neo traditional tattoos are not simply a mashup of different styles - they have their own distinct look and feel. For example, neo traditional designs often incorporate animals, flowers, and fun characters into more simplistic or "old school" imagery. Though they have only gained popularity in recent years, their roots can be traced back to neo traditional artists like Graham Council and Bert Grimm who pushed for a revival of the traditional style in the 70s and 80s. So just remember it's not just a cool design - it has its own rich history as well.

TRADITIONAL JAPANESE TATTOO

Traditional Japanese tattoos, also known as "irezumi," are a unique form of body art with a rich history and a set of strict rules. These tattoos, often featuring intricate designs of mythical creatures or traditional objects like koi fish or cherry blossoms, were originally associated with the country's criminal underworld. However, in recent decades they have gained widespread acceptance and popularity.

Unlike western-style tattoos which can be placed anywhere on the body, traditional Japanese tattoos must typically cover larger areas such as the back or sleeve. This style of tattooing originally also follows a specific method using woodblock printing techniques and hand-poked needles instead of modern electric machines. Whether you choose to honor its traditional origins or simply appreciate its stunning visual appeal, traditional Japanese tattoos make for a bold and beautiful statement.

AMERICAN TRADITIONAL TATTOO

Are you looking to bring some classic style to your skin? Look no further than the American traditional tattoo style! While modern art has its place in any reliable self-expression, sometimes you just can’t beat the stunning beauty of classic designs. The American traditional tattoo style offers timeless tattoos that will never go out of fashion.

These iconic pieces comprise bold lines, vivid colors, and simplistic imagery. Traditional tattoos have stood the test of time with their nostalgic charm, despite the ever-changing landscape of artistic traditions. For example, the nautical-themed pieces include historically significant shapes and symbols like anchors, starfish, and swallows that easily evoke nostalgia and character.

Nando's groundbreaking work, characterized by its vibrancy and emotional depth, sparked a revolution in the Tattoo world, particularly after his triumphant return from the famed Milan Tattoo convention, where he clinched an award for Best Color Tattoo. This accolade ignited a firestorm of interest and admiration, challenging the conventions of traditional Tattooing and delighting clients with his unique, often imitated yet never replicated style.
