Traditional Styles
Traditional styles, also known as Old School or American Traditional, are characterized by their bold lines, vibrant colors, and classic imagery. Originating in the early 20th century, this style became popular among sailors and military personnel. Common motifs include anchors, swallows, roses, pin-up girls, and nautical themes, each carrying specific meanings like loyalty, love, and adventure. These tattoos are typically placed on visible areas like arms, legs, and chests, making a bold statement. The timeless appeal and cultural significance of Traditional Styles continue to make them a favorite among tattoo enthusiasts, celebrating the rich history and enduring artistry of body ink.
