It is often characterized by bold lines, bright colors, and bold subjects. The style was popularized in the 1990s and has since become a mainstay in the tattoo industry. Neo traditional tattoos are often seen as a bridge between the classic look of traditional American tattoos and the more abstract designs found in modern tattoos. The style has a wide range of interpretations and can range from cute to menacing.
