Traditional

American Traditional is the original tattoo art form — bold black outlines, a restricted palette of primary colors, and iconic imagery drawn from sailor and biker culture: anchors, eagles, roses, daggers, pin-ups, and ships. Born from the tattoo parlors of port cities in the early 20th century and popularized by legends like Sailor Jerry and Norman Collins, traditional work is built to last. The heavy ink and saturated colors are as vivid fifty years after application as they were on day one.
