The American traditional tattoo butterfly has been a classic and timeless symbol of beauty and grace since the mid-1800s. This style of tattooing is an amalgamation of various influences and has evolved into a unique and powerful form of art. American traditional tattoos are bold, bright and often incorporate the use of classic elements such as stars, roses, hearts, daggers, and other classic imagery. The use of strong colors, shading, and line work makes these tattoos stand out and can be a great way to express yourself.
