NEO TRADITIONAL TATTOOING, AN EVOLUTION OF THE OLD SCHOOL WITH A STYLE OF ITS OWN
Neo traditional tattooing is a style of tattooing that combines elements of old school and new school tattooing, as well as spicing up its designs with its own unique features.
At its essence, Neo Traditional tattooing recovers the soul of traditional tattooing with the use of thick and marked strokes, the weight of the color black above all others, and the use of a color palette in which red, yellow and green are the main colors. However, despite the use of a limited color palette, Neo Traditional tattooing extends the range of shades of these colors as a reinterpretation of its predecessor style.
On the other hand, Neo Traditional tattooing is closer to the new school style by employing techniques such as sharp gradients, the incorporation of highlights and more saturated colors, as well as a greater attention to detail.
As Neo Traditional tattooing is not enough to be a union between the old and new school styles, it has not forgotten to include its own elements in its compositions, such as ornamental decorations with flowers, filigree, pearls or lace. In this way, the Neo Traditional tattoo achieves that point of sensuality and extravagance that is so captivating.
FAVOURITE NEO TRADITIONAL TATTOO THEMES
As Neo Traditional tattooing strives to recapture the soul of the old school tattoos, it makes sense to think that some of the most popular themes of this style are the ones most used by the latter: roses, daggers, skulls…
Neo Traditional tattoos are also known for depicting images related to nature and animals on the skin.
We cannot forget the images of women, who, as a general rule, have a vintage look that identifies the Neo Traditional tattoo.
