What Is A Neo-Traditional Tattoo?

The neo-traditional tattoo style is a modern progression of traditional tattooing style (also known as "old school"). This traditional tattoo style is distinguished by the use of bold black lines, engaging limited colours to what is termed limited colour saturation, and traditional imagery (i.e. skulls, anchors and/or roses, eagles).

Neo-traditional tattoos will still convey substantial line weight and intimidating shapes, in a similar manner to traditional tattoos, but it uses a realistic degree of shading to the object or subject, or just a general broader range of colours, and in its subject matter further denotes an abstract picture that conveys a feeling of motion and/or dimensionality. The net effect of the neo-traditional tattoos is that due to the bright colours present on the tattoo are exceptional, and the dimensionality aspect of the tattoos represent the image of character and can be very convincing.Designerink in Melbourne has some expansion on what is recognized as traditional and neo-traditional tattooing - so that we can have attachment to the traditional note while rendering a little different contemporary art which looks and gestures and separates itself on so many levels.
