Traditional and Neo-Traditional Tattoo
This service is built for clients who appreciate bold iconography, vintage flash motifs, and heavy linework with deep shading. We build designs using proven visual rules that stay legible from a distance and resist aging. The completed tattoo provides strong silhouettes, saturated pigments, and unmistakable classic character.

Questions about this service
Are the colored inks safe and compliant with Spanish laws?
All our inks comply fully with European REACH guidelines and Spanish health department registrations.
How long does a medium traditional piece take?
A palm-sized traditional piece is usually completed in one sitting of about two to three hours.
Does bold linework bleed into adjacent skin?
No, because the needle depth is calibrated strictly to the upper dermis to avoid blowouts.
