The old school tattoo, or traditional, has its origin in America from 1930 to 1960. Inspired by the cultures of the American Indians, the sailors of the Navy and the bikers, they are characterized by black outlines, few nuances and rather dark and simple shades.

At the time, tattoo artists were technically limited in the choice of colors and the technological progress of the machines allowed few fantasies. More practiced to represent symbols or to evoke a lifestyle, the old school tattoos did not have then a priority aesthetic aim.
