Custom design
Designed for your body, not copied from a screen.
New school deliberately pushes proportions and colour. Steven translates cartoons, games, anime and pop culture into a tattoo composition that works on skin, using clear outlines, smart contrast and a pose that captures the character immediately.
Particularly suited to
- Cartoon and game characters
- Anime and pop culture
- Playful full-colour designs

Frequently asked questions
Technique, skin and placement differ for every person. Steven will advise you personally.
Can I bring a familiar character?+
Yes, as inspiration. The composition is adapted to the placement and given its own character.
How many sessions will I need?+
That depends on size and colour coverage. A larger piece can be divided across several appointments.
Can new school be darker?+
Certainly. The style is about expression and shape; the theme can be bright, strange, dark or anything in between.
