About the style

Neo Traditional is an evolution of classic tattooing, where bold black outlines and recognizable composition remain, but complex subjects and a diverse palette are added. Volume is created through black-to-grey shading and color transitions. The style emerged in the 1970s–80s as a reaction to the strict limitations of old school.

Bold black outline — the line stays thick and confident, with variations in thickness.
Rich palette — muted shades: olive green, mustard, dark blue, marsala.
Illustrative complexity — animals, female faces, flowers, clocks, skulls with detailed textures.

Neo Traditional is ideal for medium and large compositions: forearm, calf, thigh, shoulder blade.
