About neo-traditional tattoos
Neo-traditional grew out of American traditional. It keeps the bold outlines and readability but adds a wider color palette, softer gradients, more realistic proportions and decorative frames, jewels and filigree. Animals (owls, foxes, wolves, panthers), women in profile with headdresses and lush flowers are classic subjects.
It suits medium to large pieces on the arm, thigh and calf, and works well inside sleeves.
