The neotraditional tattoo

The neo traditional tattoo is a modern variation of the old school or the American traditional tattoo. The neotraditionaltries to make things more modern by adding bold lines in the symbol and also through the use of realistic images and cartoons.

Neo-traditional tattoos straddle the line between the past and the future in a very intriguing way. By holding on to the bold black lines and classic color palette that defines American Traditional tattooing you can clearly see the roots of this style, but these artists have completely flipped the script when it comes to subject matter and the way it is drawn. Gone are the flat, two-dimensional designs of yesteryear and they are replaced by lively designs jumping off the skin. Yallzee has curated this gallery of amazing neo-traditional tattoos that show how the tattoo game has evolved over the years. Enjoy these neo-traditional tattoos.

One thought on “The neotraditional tattoo

  1. I like how you said that neo-traditional tattoos include bold lines through the use of realistic images and cartoons. My friend is trying to decide what kind of tattoo she should get that will really help show people that she has both a classic and modern side. I’m sure she’d love to get a neo-traditional tattoo that combines her trendiness with her “old school” side. Thanks for the information!
