pictures would also help, but I could google them myself too
what about oriental? is that similar?
Well, having over 20 tats myself, I’d honestly have to say the Asian Koi thing everybody is going for nowadays. I think it’s the most similar because of the elaborateness of the waves, coral, etc. It has more structure, a concept, a purpose. However, tats are meant to be original. You don’t want to be one of those people walking around with Tribal… cause 9 times out of 10, you know they got it in the late 90’s when it was cool. Don’t make your ink look dated. Come up with a concept and a good tattoo artist will take it from there. They don’t like to be given too much direction. Let them do their thing. That’s what they do for a living. Much like if you were a doctor, you wouldn’t like the patient under anesthesia telling you where to cut & snip. LOL Good Luck!!!
What style(s) of tattoo artwork is/are most similar to the old school/traditional style?
