Neo-Traditional
Tattoos
Neo-traditional tattooing pairs the bold readability of traditional tattoos with richer color, dimensional shading and illustrative detail. Oddity artists create custom designs that remain striking from across the room and rewarding up close.
What Defines Neo-Traditional Tattoo?
Strong outlines and clear silhouettes anchor the composition, while expanded color palettes, decorative elements and smooth shading add depth. Portraits, animals, florals, mythology and ornate frames are especially well suited to the style.
