Popularized by tattooist Norman “Sailor Jerry” Collins in the 1930s, this style is based on bold, clean black outlines and a minimal, well-saturated color palette consisting mainly of primary colors.  Traditional imagery typically consists of skulls, roses, and daggers.

Examples of popular old school tattoo designs include:

• Native American tattoos

• Pin-up tattoos

• Mermaid tattoos

• Swallow and sparrow tattoos

• Heart tattoos

• Anchor tattoos

• Eagle tattoos

• Navy and other armed forces symbols

• Dagger tattoos

• Rose tattoos

Dark Heavy Strokes and some solid color tattoos can be seen from across the street. If done right can look amazing!
