American traditional tattooing is a style of tattooing that has been around since the early 1900s. It is a timeless style that is still popular today and is often referred to as "old school" or "traditional" tattooing. American traditional tattooing is characterized by bold lines and bright colors. It usually features iconic imagery such as roses, anchors, skulls, and eagles. American traditional tattoos are usually done with a single needle, and the designs often have a "sailor-style" look to them.
