New school takes the bold outlines of traditional tattooing and adds graffiti and cartoon influences: exaggerated proportions, big eyes, bright saturated color and playful subjects such as animals, food, characters and pop-culture references.
It is a good choice for fun, personal pieces and holds color well when the outlines are thick.
