What is neo traditional tattoo?

Neo-traditional tattoos are a modern take on traditional American or old school tattoos. They typically incorporate bold, colorful designs and traditional tattoo elements like bold outlines, black shading, and a limited color palette. However, neo-traditional tattoos also incorporate more intricate details, shading techniques, and design elements than traditional tattoos.

Neo-traditional tattoos often feature realistic elements mixed with traditional tattoo imagery, such as animals, flowers, skulls, and pin-up girls. They are known for their eye-catching designs, vibrant colors, and detailed linework.

This style of tattooing has become increasingly popular in recent years, with many tattoo artists specializing in neo-traditional work. The style offers a fresh and contemporary take on traditional tattooing while still paying homage to its roots.
