Traditional Tattoos

Hello, All! I'm here today to talk to you about Traditional style tattoos! Traditional tattoos are the foundation of american tattooing. Designed from pin up dolls and logos from the side of bomber jets these tattoos create an aesthetic like no other. The tattoos are heavily associated with military backgrounds. These tattoos were designed in late WWI and carried over through out the years as amazing long lasting pieces of art. These tattoos constantly have a general core theme to them usually pin-ups, bomber logos, daggers, skulls, and roses. However, today most of these tattoos have been modernized and great ideas pop up when people take custom pieces of art and traditional tattoo styles, and put them together. 
Traditional-style Tattoos are characterized by bold, well-spaced lines, black shading, and simple, bright fields of color. Aside from the look and feel of these designs being great, they are tailor-made for longevity in the skin, and preserve a tradition that no one in my profession could exist without.
