What Is Neo-Traditional Tattoos?

Neo-traditional tattooing emerged as artists began pushing beyond the limits of classic American Traditional. While maintaining strong defined outlines, neo-traditional incorporates more complex color gradients, varying line weights, intricate detail, and a much wider range of subjects. The style draws heavily from Art Nouveau's organic curves and Art Deco's geometric elegance.
