Clear lines, strong character
Recognisable shapes, bold outlines and confident colour. Traditional gives your idea a direct, distinctive character.
Traditional tattoos use clear outlines, compact shapes and a focused colour palette. Roses, birds, hearts and other motifs remain recognisable without tiny details. Old school is another commonly used name for this style.
A familiar motif can carry deeply personal meaning. A swallow, flower or heart becomes special through the reason you choose it. We help translate that meaning into a design that works within this visual language.
Individual traditional tattoos can grow into a patchwork collection, or we can plan their relationship and placement from the beginning. At Bunker in Breda, we discuss how your new tattoo will sit alongside the work you already wear.
