Traditional work is built to be read from across a room: a heavy outline, a limited palette, and solid color packed so it holds up as the skin ages. The vocabulary is old and it works: roses, panthers, daggers, swallows, ships. The craft is in the drawing underneath, not in adding more detail. Neo-traditional keeps the bold line and opens up the palette and the shading for a richer image.
Tell the artist what you want it to say and let the style do the rest. Expect a design drawn in that language rather than a photo copied into it, clean packed color, and a tattoo that still reads clearly long after a busier piece would have blurred together.
