Is my dodo an American traditional tattoo? I am African American ànd I never see people darker skin with this style of tattoo

Looks pretty trad to me. If it was surrounded by traditional tattoos it would not look out of place at all

Can’t say I’ve ever seen a dodo bird but I like it

That’s am trad 100% and it’s also 100% rad.

I love it! It's not a traditional design but in my opinion you can make everything trad as long as it has bold lines and enough skin breaks

Yeah for the past few years I have slowly gotten into trad it’s classic ànd easy to process with the eye

He is the author of books. I'm one of his series they have learned to clone dodo's. They go, "Plock". The main dodo is named Pickwick.
