Let’s see some timeless tattoos

We have to start with roses. Preferred by both men and women, they reveal their beauty in numerous different styles.

They are all amazing.

Tigers and eagles

Tigers and eagles, as well as snake tattoos lay are the very foundation of the Western ink culture. These designs are rooted into tattooing traditions ever since sailors and traders started inking their arms in the shops of the famous NYC Bowery Street. Tigers and eagles will always symbolize strength, power and masculinity even though nowadays many girls also turn to these kinds of designs. The perfect style is no other than Americana. We suggest you stick to it.

Knuckle “Love” tattoos

For quite a long time knuckle tattoos were associated with tough men. Those who spend their nights fighting in pubs or just sweaty rockers with leather jackets.  Today things have changed and hot tattooed chicks and famous models also get their knuckles with words like “Love” or “Strength”. The lettering remains in cursive, the ink is still black, its only the popularity of this spot that has grown bigger.
