Old School Tattoos
Old school tattoos also known as traditional tattoos – are the tattoo images that are immediately recognisable as such and that we would expect to see adorning the arm of an ageing sailor or biker for example and some coal miners.
In the early years of tattoo art, tattoos were frowned upon by society. Luckily this has changed, tattooing has become much more widespread among all walks of life.
Old school tattoos have never quite disappeared from view, but a few decades ago they did sort of fade into the background.
Nu Skool Tattoos
Pronounced new school, We use a wide variety of colours which are blended, diluted with water (to achieve different hues) and degraded. There are also different types of needles used, some for delicate features, others for bold lines, shadows, and many other details that achieve different purposes.
The new school tattoos are electric, bright, and sometimes even play with our perception. Gradients and colour changes, the passage of light to dark colours, such as various shades from yellow to orange and so on to red. These are very important characteristics of this style.
Tribal Tattoos and Solid Black work.
Tribal designs are mostly created with black ink. This style of tattooing has stood out for years and is widely called blackwork or neo-tribal and is gaining more and more popularity Welcome to the world of monochrome. Some people may find it extreme or lacking in aesthetics, but the choice of blackwork lovers deserves a lot of respect for boldness and also strength. Blackwork is pushing dotwork and linework to the extreme, with massive black tint areas, and complex geometrical and symmetrical patterns influenced by Polynesian tattoos and graphic art. It focuses on the design, mostly ornamental, rather than the meaning of realism. From minimal to extremely intricate, blackwork tattoos are standing out. Yet, you can always add white ink to soften the black tint. Blackwork is also a possibility for cover-ups. But forget about laser removal, so think before you ink! Many artists are well known for their blackwork specialisation.
