Traditional




Neil Collins aka Sailor Jerry
I absolutely love traditional tattooing & got my first one a couple years ago. As of right now I have 7 traditional style tattoos & 3 modern style tattoos & even though some people disagree with them, I plan to get more! :) Western style tattoos figure bold lines usually filled with solid red or green & additions blue, yellow, brown, and purple. Neil Collins, known as Sailor Jerry (http://sailorjerry.com) is one of the most well known traditional tattoo artists. Here's a few examples of Sailor Jerry style tattoos:




Here in Winnipeg, I have come across one really great traditional tattoo artist named Don Ritson from Rebel Waltz Tattoo. (http://rebelwaltztattoo.com/home.html) Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get a tattoo from him yet, but I plan to in the future. You can also follow his tumblr page where he posts a lot of his work @ http://tattoosbyritson.tumblr.com 
Here is a photograph of one of his pieces from his website! Amazing right!?
Traditional Tattoos are very common within the rockabilly style & this year while looking at pictures from 'Viva Las Vegas 17' I saw lots of amazing traditional art & it made me excited for my future tattoo ideas. Here are some ideas I've had:


People always ask me what tattoo shops I recommend in Winnipeg & here is my list:

I picked these three because this is where I had the best experience professional wise, treatment wise & tattoo outcome.
