About this service
We draw old-school traditional tattoo sketches with bold black outlines, solid colour and the classic palette of red, yellow, green and black. Swallows, roses, anchors, daggers, panthers, ships, pin-up girls and hearts with a banner all fit, either as stand-alone pieces or a custom take on a classic. The style is built to last, so shapes are simple and outlines are thick.
What is included
- What you getTraditional tattoo sketches with bold outlines and flat colour on a white background, with one short word on a banner if you want it. They go to your tattoo artist as the design reference for the stencil.

Questions and answers
Is old-school the same as neo-traditional?
No. Old-school keeps simple shapes and few colours, while neo-traditional adds more detail and shading. Tell us which you prefer and we lean that way.
Will the word on the banner be spelled right?
Short words usually come out well, but check the spelling. Your tattoo artist redraws the lettering in the stencil anyway.
Can you draw a pin-up in my partner’s likeness?
We draw from your description of hair, features and outfit, not from a photo, so the result is a stylised resemblance.
