Traditional tattoo subjects

Traditional has a precise repertoire, inherited from seafaring tradition and the first tattooists: figures you recognise at a glance, tattooed for more than a century. Here you will find the classic subjects with real work by the artists of Hardtimes Tattoo, in Turin.

Can’t see the subject you’re after? Traditional has many more, and our artists tattoo different ones too: write to us with your idea, or read about traditional and old school tattoos. Visiting Turin? See getting a tattoo here as a visitor.
