New School

New School is a vibrant style of tattooing heavily influenced by graffiti culture and Japanese anime, frequently with a humorous overall theme at play. New School often makes use of warped perspectives, line weight variations (having multiple thicknesses of lines that flow from thick to thin and back again), and an astute attention to color theory to make the overall work “pop”. New School tattooing usually requires years of dedicated practice to learn what colors play well with others, as well as training the hand strength and dexterity to smoothly accomplish these levels of line variation. A skilled practitioner will know how to balance these two factors to provide the most bang for your buck.
