Traditional tattoos, also known as old school or American traditional tattoos, have been around for centuries. The traditional tattoo style is characterized by bold, black outlines and vibrant colors. Popular designs include anchors, roses, hearts, and skulls. While these designs have been around for a long time, they are seeing a resurgence in popularity in recent years. While traditional tattoos are still popular, a new style of tattooing is gaining traction — death traditional tattoos.
