Traditional Tattoos
Traditional tattoos are a distinct style of tattooing that emerged in the Western world, particularly among sailors and military personnel. They are known for their straightforward designs and use of a limited color palette. Common motifs include nautical symbols, patriotic themes, pin-up girls, and animals, each rendered with thick black outlines and solid blocks of color.
