Neo traditional tattoos are an evolution of the old school style, with bold lines, bright colors, and a combination of classic imagery and modern motifs. Neo traditional tattoos were initially popularised in the late 70s and 80s and have grown in popularity ever since. Neo traditional tattoos are typically larger than classic old school designs, with intricate details and bold colors. They are often rendered in a painterly style, and often depict subjects like animals, nature scenes, and mythological creatures.
