New school tattoos don’t follow any rigid structure, but they’re easy to identify. Most designs flaunt a 3D element along with a graffiti-like composition.
New school is a modern favourite style due to its endless possibilities. Unlike traditional tattoo style, new school incorporates vivid, saturated colors, thick black outlines and playful, cartoony designs.
New school tattoos don’t follow any rigid structure, but they’re easy to identify when you see one. There’s an element of surrealism about new school tattoos, and the most designs flaunt a 3D element along with an almost graffiti-like composition.
New school can involve any subject, although many involve colorful characters with overblown proportions. This style allows artists to take tattooing to the next level as there are no limits to how bold, abstract or stylistic a new school design can be. It’s different, it’s unique and it forces artists and canvases to think outside of the box.
