What is American Traditional?

Bold Lines, Timeless Style

American Traditional is one of tattooing’s most iconic styles — known for its strong outlines, saturated colors, and classic imagery like panthers, daggers, roses, and pin-ups. It’s a timeless style that honours tradition and remains just as bold and relevant today.

What Makes it Different?

Built to Be Seen

What sets American Traditional apart is its staying power. The bold lines and bright color palette aren’t just aesthetic — they’re functional. These designs are meant to age well, hold up over time, and remain readable from across the room.
