American Traditional
Bold outlines, classic palette, iconic imagery. The OG.

Classic American traditional tattoos: bold black outlines, a limited but striking color palette, and iconic imagery — eagles, panthers, roses, daggers, hearts, anchors.
Traditional is one of the most time-tested styles in the craft. The bold lines and high contrast read well from across a room and age beautifully — they often look better at 30 years than fine line does at 5.
Solana has deep traditional roots. Matt Phillips, JD Markwardt, Aiden Keller, and Corey Diohep all work in this lineage.
