Traditional tattoos, with their deep symbolism and historical roots, remain a popular choice for many. A traditional sleeve, or ‘patchwork’ sleeve, combines various designs to cover an entire limb, similar to a quilt. Flash designs, once displayed in tattoo shops, include classic symbols like swallows, which represent returning home, and sharks, believed to offer protection. Ship tattoos symbolize freedom and adventure. At Family Business Tattoo in San Diego, our skilled tattoo artists honor these historical designs, ensuring that each tattoo is both meaningful and visually striking. Choosing a traditional tattoo from our shop means embracing a rich legacy of symbolism and artistry.
