What are Traditional Tattoos?
Traditional tattoos, or oldschool tattoos, are a style that originated in the early 19th century. This style is characterised by thick black lines, limited colour palettes (mostly red, green, yellow and blue) and iconic images such as anchors, roses, skulls, swallows and pin-up girls. The simplicity and clarity of these designs make them timeless and easily recognisable.
