American traditional tattoo stencils are a style of tattoo art first popularized in the early 20th century. The style is characterized by bold lines and bright colors, as well as iconic imagery such as eagles, skulls, stars, and anchors. The designs are typically created using a special kind of stencil, which helps to ensure that the design is applied in the same way each time. American traditional tattoo stencils have become increasingly popular in recent years as people look to create designs that pay homage to classic Americana.
