Old School Tattoos – A Timeless Art Form for Life

Did you know that Old School tattoos are not just a style, but a tradition that has survived for generations? This iconic art form, known for its bold lines, vibrant colors, and enduring designs, is much more than just body art – it’s a part of your story.

From the sailor’s heart to modern body art

Old School tattoos have their roots in the sailor culture of the 20th century, where tattoos were not only decorative but also symbolic. An anchor tattoo symbolized stability, while a swallow represented loyalty and homesickness. Every line and color told a story.

For me, Old School tattoos are about carrying on this tradition – and making it personal for you. Whether you want a classic rose, a modified pinup, or a modern twist on a traditional motif, my goal is to create a design that lasts a lifetime, both in meaning and quality.

What makes Old School tattoos so special?

Old School tattoos are more than just aesthetics. They are designed to stand the test of time. Here’s why:

  • Enduring designs: With bold lines and heavy shading, the tattoo maintains its strength and clarity even after many years.
  • Iconic symbols: Traditional motifs like hearts, daggers, and swallows never go out of style – a tribute to timeless art.
  • Unique style: Although the style follows established principles, each tattoo is customized to reflect the customer’s story and personality.
