Tattooing is a diverse art-form, the
limitations became less and less as time goes on and there are constantly new
and exciting styles and artist’s emerging all over the world. Something that
has developed and gained momentum very quickly over the past 5 or so years is
neo-traditional tattooing. Neo-Traditional work has its foundations in
traditional and old-school styles of work, but is modernized and adapted to the
present capabilities of artists and their tools, higher detail, a more
versatile palette, and a wider variety of subject matter,neo-traditional tattooing is a true sign of the evolution of
tattooing and its adaptation to new and innovative methods of applying
tattoo’s.

While the subject matter is broad and
seemingly endless, it is always important to consider the working style of the
artist you approach with this sort of work, some artists may be more effeminate
than others in style, some may have more limited palettes that suit the tone of
their work, others may be capable of doing virtually anything! It is worth
looking around to find the perfect artist to take care of your tattoo’s for
you.
Neo-Traditional piece by Jazzy.
The work more than often not relies on bold
line-work and varied line-weight, defined and solid images that are crisp and
accurate, complimented by strong textures created through colour or shading.
Black and grey or colour works are both easily executed, and again this can
depend on the working style of the artist.

Our primary neo-traditional artists at Modern
Ink are Jazzy, and Jaes (although he does tend to work in
more old-school and folk-art styles generally.) Both of these expert artists
are adaptable and proficient talents who are constantly on the hunt for
exciting new pieces they can take on, if you have an idea, we have time to put
it on your skin. Contact the studio
for any further information on neo-traditional tattooing or anything else for
that matter, we love it all!
