When it comes to old school American/ Western Traditional Tattoos, people often ask, what’s better - Black & Grey or Colour? The answer is completely personal preference.
It’s good to have an idea when you’re getting tattooed if you want to keep to a black & grey colour scheme, or if you’re planning on getting colour pieces.
Here is an example of a Classic Rose design done by our artist Milky in both colour ways:
The beauty of old school/ American traditional tattooing is the use of bold lines, vivid colours and dark shading. The saying ‘Bold will Hold’ refers to these elements of the design. Thick lines and dark shading both ensure the tattoo heals well into the skin and won’t fade.
Simple and designed to age well! Just like a fine wine!
