New School Tattoo is a style of work that has relatively recently come about: It is believed to have originated around the 1970s in California. The style combines all techniques of tattooing and uses them to create unique and vibrant artwork on the body. The style often features heavy outlines, vivid colors, and an exaggeration of the subject matter. While it borrows heavily from Old School in its use of heavy outlines, New School is not restricted by color palette and subject matter. New School Tattoos can feature any range of subjects, allowing for the artist to have lots of freedom in the creation of the design. The style often has a certain whimsical and playful nature about it. Sometimes taking an Old School design and revamping to pay homage or for irony.
