Illustration with depth
Clear outlines with rich detail, colour and expression. Neo-traditional gives a personal subject a storytelling form.
Neo-traditional combines clear linework with more room for colour gradients, texture and detail. Animals, faces, flowers and objects take on an illustrative character. An image does not have to be photographic to feel recognisable and expressive.
This style leaves room to connect symbols: a bird with a flower, a portrait with a personal object or a subject linked to a chapter of your life. We look for a composition in which those elements support each other.
Colour and contrast help set the mood. Bring references that show the atmosphere you like. At Bunker Tattoo in Breda, we discuss how your neo-traditional design can fit the placement and size you have in mind.
