**5/5** — Richard Donohue about Carmela_Bella (2026-05-27)

**5/5** — Kimberly Fullum about Carmela_Bella (2026-04-26)

The tattoo is stunning, so so happy with it, it came out even better than I expected! Don’t hesitate, book that appointment and prepare to walk out of the shop a total badass 🙌🏽

**5/5** — jojo kyle about dna_arts (2026-04-22)

> Spazz’s booking site was super easy to use and made scheduling quick. The Afterpay option really helped me out too—definitely made everything more convenient. Highly recommend!

**5/5** — Paola oneill about inkedbyshyllc (2026-03-06)

> Shy was my first ever tattoo artist and to this day I still come to her. She was still somewhat starting out and her work was very impressive. throughout the years I've brought her unique projects and she's always been thrilled to put her all in to them. She's always been very hygienic and clean when it comes to new needles, gloves, and the environment she works in. I always get compliments on her art and her clean line work. If you want impeccable and good quality work Shy is your girl for all your tattoos.

**5/5** — Richard Donohue about Carmela_Bella (2026-01-24)

> A great tatooist with an amazing artistic ability. very happy to of gotten her on my tattoo and already planning my next with her.

**5/5** — Shanyla Johnson about inkedbyshyllc (2025-12-12)

> Great communication, easy to book, great prices. I've gotten 3 other tattoos by her and they've healed perfectly, never letting anybody else do my tats

## Frequently asked questions

### How much does a american traditional tattoo cost?

Verified artists in this category start at around $25, with the final price depending on size, detail, placement, and the artist's experience level.

### How do I find the best american traditional tattoo artist for me?

Browse the 165 verified american traditional artists on TattMe, compare portfolios, and read client reviews. Look specifically for artists whose existing work matches the size, color palette, and level of detail you want — a great realism artist isn't automatically a great traditional artist, even within the same studio.

### Where on the body does american traditional work best?

American Traditional can work almost anywhere, but the right placement depends on the design's complexity. Highly detailed pieces need enough surface area to read clearly — back, thigh, and full sleeves typically work best for intricate work, while simpler designs translate well to forearm, calf, or rib placements. Ask your artist for placement advice before you commit.

### Does american traditional age well over time?

American Traditional ages best when the underlying technique is sound — clean lines, appropriate ink density, and placement away from high-friction or sun-exposed areas all matter more than the style itself. Verified TattMe artists publish their portfolios with healed work where available, so you can see how their pieces look months or years out.

TattMe lists american traditional artists across multiple cities — top markets right now include Hayes, Virginia, Chandler, Arizona, Mayfield Heights, Ohio. Use the city filter on individual style pages, or browse the full directory by city to see what's available in your area.
