About Neo-Traditional

Modern interpretation of traditional Western tattooing — bold lines, expanded color palette, illustrated detail.

Composition for a full sleeve

On a full sleeve, neo-traditional compositions read best when the focal motif anchors at the natural visual centre of the area and supporting elements taper toward the edges. Plan negative space around joints — they bend, they crease, and any heavy linework that crosses them flexes with the body. This is why traditional bodysuit planners reserve clean breaks at shoulder, elbow, knee, and waist.
