Neo Traditional Tattoos

Neo Traditional Tattoos are a modern take on the traditional style of tattooing. They combine the bold and vibrant colors of traditional tattoos with more intricate and detailed designs. Neo Traditional Tattoos often feature elements like animals, flowers, and mythical creatures, with a focus on clean lines and shading techniques. The style has gained popularity for its ability to blend traditional tattoo aesthetics with contemporary artistic influences, resulting in unique and visually striking designs.

Neo Traditional Tattoo Styles

Inspired by the traditional style of tattooing, the neo-traditional tattoo style pays tribute to its roots by likewise making utilization of thick lines, splendid hues, and minimal shading. Not to be mistaken for “new school” style, which is more cartoonish and overstated, the neo-traditional style is a restoration and festivity of the traditional tattoo style, with a more top to bottom shading colors and utilization of more differing symbolism. The absolute most prominent neo-traditional outlines incorporate pictures of skulls, eyes, roses, beacons, precious stones, boxes, birds, owls, lions, tigers, and wolves.

Neo-traditional artists have pushed the limits to make a one of their very own kind style.

Frequently imbued with a darker shading palette and components of nature, and set up together with surrealist energy, neo-traditional tattoos are an uncommon case of the imaginative way of the tattoo business.

I came into this shop as a walk-in. I almost left because they didn't have any open artists. Then, an artist by the name Leo hooked me up and was able to tat me up. Thank you all for the hospitality. You are all awesome.

I would 100% recommend this place to anyone wanting a tattoo!! The customer service is beyond spot on. My friend and I wanted to get tattoos but could only do it on a certain day, and Anna, our tattoo artist offered to come in on her day off!! She was so kind to do this for us. She was very insightful when it came to our tattoos. Not only was she helpful but she was hilarious as well, she made our day. She made us feel at ease and the tattoo process itself was very fast. 10/10 would recommend Anna!!

Brandon does awesome work! My hubby of 23 years and I got matching tattoos and we love them! The picture is from day 2! Amazing color saturation and now barely a week out and it's almost completely healed. Thanks Brandon! My daughter and I will see you in July for my next tattoo and her first!! Edit 7/1/23: Brandon YOU FREAKING ROCK!!! My 20yo getting her first tattoo and myself getting a long awaited tattoo for myself can't begin to explain how much we love our tattoos! The lines are super crisp and clean, the definition is phenomenal! Thank you thank you!!
