New Traditional Tattoo Artists

Verified artists in this category list services ranging from about $20 to $5000, with the final price depending on size, detail, placement, and the artist's experience level.

Browse the 46 verified new 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.

New 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.

New 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.
