The neo-traditional tattoo style has skyrocketed in popularity among tattoo enthusiasts. You’ll see it everywhere on social media and on the streets. Inknation Studio took note and is at the forefront of this emerging trend. But what is a neo-traditional tattoo? Let’s take a closer look into this style.
A neo-traditional tattoo style takes cues from traditional Americana designs. You can spot this style because of its vibrant colors, bold lines, and overall finesse. Most neo-traditional tattoos features elements like snakes, roses, daggers, and skulls.
We can trace the history of this tattoo style back to the 1970s to a group of rebel tattoo artists who began experimenting new techniques and styles. These artists were influenced by traditional Japanese styles, along with American pop culture and folk art. They made the lines bolder and the colors brighter, resulting in a complex and eye-catching tattoo. It’s a truly vibrant style, and it’s easy to see why so many people appreciate it.
It quickly caught on and became popular across the United States. You can now find neo-traditional tattoo artists across the world, including here in New York City at Inknation Studio. Many tattoo enthusiasts love this style because it blends classic elements with cutting-edge modern artistry. The detail and lifelike designs elevate the style, resulting in a piece that commands attention. As with any tattoo style, it’s important you choose the right artist. Inexperienced artists aren’t able to capture the modern color palettes or the dimensionality of a high-quality neo-traditional tattoo.
