    States that in American Traditional the black outline must be thick and well defined, the colours bold, vivid and mainly primary (red, blue, green, yellow), with flat colouring without gradients and simple, clearly defined shapes with minimal detail. Names anchors, hearts, skulls, roses, eagles and snakes as the iconic subjects, plus women in cocktail glasses, inscriptions, felines, predators and cherubs. Explains the compactness as a consequence of designs having to be executed quickly while staying visible and memorable.

    Tier 2

    Tattooing 101

    A tattoo-education platform's style reference. Gives per-style rules for ten styles. American Traditional/Old School: thick bold lines, one line weight, yellow/red/green/black, 2-D. Neo Traditional: 2-3 line weights, thinner for detail, muted palette, ultra-smooth blends, realistic proportions, Art Nouveau/Deco elements. New School: bright colours, 3-D graffiti effect, exaggerated features such as big eyes and big teeth. Black and Grey: black and grey wash only, grey from gradients, grey wash heals about 30 percent lighter than fresh. Realism: no hard outlines, soft undefined edges, 3-D image, recreates photos, shading marked on stencils. Watercolor: keep some line work so the design stays readable, soft-looking edges, whip and pendulum shading. Geometric: break designs into basic shapes, shade by light direction. Blackwork: black ink only, brush shading for lighter areas. It also lists Japanese and Tribal as styles with rules - a treatment this corpus deliberately does not follow (see T11.10).
