Traditional / Old School Tattoos
By even looking at our logo or brand name, you know that the traditional tattoo style is embedded deeply into Studio Sailor. We embrace the rich history and timeless charm of old school tattoos. Anne, the founder of Studio Sailor, draws a lot of inspiration from the 1920s and 1930s. Her designs are filled with classic references like vintage athletes, birds, animals, women, and everyday objects such as chairs, windows, or cars.

Aftercare old school tattoo
Proper aftercare is crucial for the longevity and vibrancy of your traditional tattoo. At Studio Sailor, we use second skin. Second skin is a thin, transparent layer applied over your new tattoo. This significantly accelerates the healing process, ensuring you don’t have to do anything for the first few days, and the tattoo is well protected. We are always ready to answer your questions and guide you through the healing process.
