A modern twist on traditional tattooing with vibrant colors and intricate details.

Neo Traditional Tattoo work gives Hollywood clients a mix of classic structure and richer detail. Rough Sands Tattoo uses this style for people who want bold shapes, deeper color, and more texture than a standard traditional piece. It works well for clients who like the feel of classic tattoo art but want a more detailed finish that still reads clearly in a city that moves fast.
We talk through your concept, then map out shapes, shading, and color so the tattoo keeps balance across the whole piece. In Hollywood, many clients want a design that looks strong in photos but still feels personal in real life. That can mean a floral design with deep shadow, a raven with decorative line work, or a character piece with a tighter color story. We sketch with that balance in mind.
The process stays clear from the first consult to the final pass. You will know how the piece will sit on the body, where the contrast will live, and how much detail makes sense for the size. If you are comparing styles, you can also look at Traditional Tattoo and Realism Tattoo to see where Neo Traditional Tattoo sits between them.
