Traditional tattoos Montreal
Bold Lines, Powerful imagery
Traditional tattoos are one of the most recognizable styles in tattoo history. Known for bold outlines, strong shapes, and simple but powerful imagery, traditional tattoos age extremely well and remain visually striking for decades.
POURIA — TRADITIONAL & OLD-SCHOOL TATTOO STYLE
Pouria’s approach to traditional tattooing is rooted in a deep respect for its history, craft, and traditions. He believes in keeping the style true to its origins, using coil machines, bold lines, bright colours, and strong contrast.
His work includes:
- classic traditional imagery
- bold, clean linework
- strong black shading and bright colour
- hand-painted traditional flash
- custom traditional designs
Choose from Pouria’s extensive collection of original hand-painted flash, or get tattooed with a timeless design from legendary artists such as Sailor Jerry, Joe Lieber, Cap Coleman, Ed Hardy, Tony D’Annessa, or Mike Malone.
For something more personal, Pouria also creates custom traditional designs, while staying true to the visual language and craftsmanship that define traditional tattooing.
Why Traditional Tattoos Age So Well
Traditional tattoos have remained popular for over a century for a reason.
Their design principles make them extremely durable on skin:
bold outlines hold the design structure
simple shading keeps the image readable over time
strong shapes prevent the tattoo from blurring
Because of this, traditional tattoos are often considered one of the most long-lasting tattoo styles.
