American traditional tattoo art, also known as old-school tattoos, is a type of tattooing that developed in the United States in the late 19th century. It is characterized by bold, black outlines and bright, contrasting colors. This style of tattooing is often seen as a more traditional form of tattooing, as it predates more modern, “flashy” tattoo styles such as Japanese, biomechanical, and Neo-traditional tattooing. American traditional tattoo art is often seen as a timeless style of tattooing that will remain relevant for years to come.
