Tattoo styles

So todayI will coming across the style of tattoo. As you know they were a long history of tattoo. Its change via society and culture. However, I think this is what makes it intersting. The fact that it is unique and stand out in each style makes people invest their knowledge before getting one. The style can be separated into a huge number, it is mostly up to the person and the culture. So today I think I will present you the popular style, the top of the chart. Because I can't go deep into every style, it will take forever.

To start of with, the most popular tattoo style especially in America. "THE OLD SCHOOL."

Old School Style Tattoos (also known as Classic or Traditional Tattoos) are reminiscent of the style used from the early 1900s - 1950s. At that time, a limited selection of ink color affected the tattoo artist's design capabilities. Artists relied on bold black outlines with very little shading, using the spot colors; green, red, yellow, and the occasional blue or brown. Popular subjects were naval and armed forces emblems, pin-up girls, heart and dagger tattoos, eagle tattoos and Harley Davidson symbols.

Although, it is very old style of tattoo. I personally know a lot of people who still want to have this type of tattoo, as they claim that it is classic and beautiful in it own style.

After we talking about old school style, it is impossible to not cover the New School style. The new school is adapt from the old school. Started in 1970, they were more tattooed people and the tattoo society is becomes bigger. According to the law of demand and supply, it means that tattoo manufacturers have to come up with something that is wider and able to support the demand. As a result, they were an invention of new colors. Moreover, because it is more colors, the artist can find a good alternative to come up with something new and make it a selling point. Because that they were a bigger tattooed society it made the artist communicate and exchanging knowledge, creating a lot of new works.

As you can see, new school has a lot of heritage from the old school. However, we are able to separate it via looking at certain elements. For example, the use of heavy outlines, vivid colors, and exaggerated depictions of the subject.

Personally, I found that it is a bit hard to separate it when it is on human body. But it doesn't matter, either of them are magnificent and beautiful.
