These are some American Traditional Styled Tattoos I have done.
Traditional tattoos are some of the oldest styles of tattoos, starting all the way back in 1911. Although these tattoos are not very fancy or stylish, they have a rich history. American tattoo tradition began primarily with sailors. After the American Revolution, United States sailors cultivated a culture of tattooing for several reasons. One main reason was to ensure that they had defining, distinguishing marks on their bodies. British ships forcibly took American sailors to the British Navy if they could not identify them as American. One way to avoid this was by having a specific tattoo that proved they were who they claimed to be.
