American Traditional Tattoo is a style of tattooing that emerged in the early 20th century, characterized by bold black outlines and a limited color palette, typically featuring red, green, yellow, and blue. This style often incorporates iconic imagery such as roses, skulls, eagles, and anchors, reflecting themes of love, death, and patriotism. The design elements are simple yet striking, making them easily recognizable. Sailor Jerry, a prominent figure in this tattoo style, helped popularize it through his work with sailors and military personnel. Today, American Traditional tattoos remain a popular choice for those seeking timeless and meaningful body art.
