The Art of Traditional Tattooing
An array of simple yet intricate designs
Bold black lines that etch out the image of a wing spreading eagle, a
rose encrusted anchor, or ship at sea...these are only some images that
may come to mind when Traditional tattooing is brought to subject. Part
art movement, part social phenomena.
One of the reason why American Traditional tattoos are so popular is
that Americans have been involved in almost every single war since 1775,
and both soldiers and sailors who had tattoos often traveled when
participating in these wars. Sailor Jerry, Mildred Hull, Don Ed Hardy,
Sailor Jerry, Bert Grimm, Lyle Tuttle, and more, are some of the people
who made American Traditional famous.
