1. American Traditional Family Tattoo Art

A family take on the traditional Sailor Jerry tattoo favored early in the 20th century. The colors, while simple, really complement each other well and and the lines are drawn crisply.

A different take on a north American classic tattoo, the only way to describe it is ‘unique.’ The word family is what gives the ink its designation, as the rest of the imagery doesn’t really go with any standard familial definition because it’s an upside-down Octopus clutching some type of jewel.

This piece offers a new wave development of classic themes. The gun is about as old school as they come, with other tradition in the display of the flower and bannering. The quote is funky and well-drawn with most likely a narrow, single needle piece of kit.
