American Traditional

American Traditional Tattoos

Few tattoo styles are as iconic as American Traditional tattoos. Known for their bold black outlines, solid colors, and timeless imagery, this style has been a cornerstone of tattoo culture for more than a century. At Aloha Tattoos in Murray, Utah, our artists honor that history while bringing fresh creativity to every piece.

What Defines American Traditional?

American Traditional (sometimes called “old school”) tattoos are all about clarity, durability, and symbolism. Designs often include:

Anchors, Ships & Nautical Symbols – A nod to the seafaring roots of tattooing.
Eagles & Patriotic Imagery – Bold statements of pride and strength.
Roses, Daggers & Hearts – Classic symbols of love, loyalty, and resilience.
Pin-Up Girls & Skulls – Iconic designs that shaped the tattoo world.

The appeal of this style lies in its simplicity and staying power. With strong lines and a limited but powerful color palette, American Traditional tattoos age beautifully and remain clear and striking for decades.
