About Neo-Traditional

It is most often worn on the chest, where its lines and shading have the room to breathe and the design reads cleanly from across a room. Considered medium to execute, a great Neo-Traditional piece rewards the patience of an artist who lives and breathes the craft. With a 4.4/5 rating and 14,793 saves in the Ink Gallery, it remains one of the most requested looks in the studio.
