Inspired by 1940s and 1950s burlesque fashion, these designs recreate the look of thigh-high hosiery complete with garter belts, seams, lace tops, and bow accents. The result is a bold body-art statement that blends vintage glamour with tattoo craftsmanship.

Combining the strong linework of traditional tattooing with contemporary shading and color theory, neo-traditional pieces feel both familiar and fresh. The style allows for more realistic proportions while keeping the iconic bold look.

The chest is a bold placement choice that stays mostly concealed under clothing. Its proximity to the heart makes it a popular spot for meaningful symbols, text, and portrait work.
