Popular sketches
Characters (edit)
Colored images of certain characters are very popular among tattoo lovers in this style. These can be both heroes of popular cartoons, for example, the same Mickey Mouse, Pikachu or the well-known Sonic, as well as heroes of comics and films. For example, in this style, you can portray one or more heroes from Marvel comics, which will look interesting and bright.
It should be noted that drawings depicting certain characters are universal, that is, both female and male. Moreover, they are suitable for people of all ages.
Animals
Animal tattoos are also often performed in a style such as new school. Animals in such a picture can be depicted very different: a cat, a fox, a snake, a wolf, an owl, or some other bird.
At the same time, the plot lines can be completely different, both humorous and funny, with a penchant for some abstraction or for something absurd, and more serious, endowed with some kind of sacred and deep meaning.
Floral motives
Floral motifs are also very popular among those who like to decorate their bodies with different images. Moreover, tattoos in the form of flowers are in demand among both girls and men.
Flowers on such a tattoo can be very different: a proud rose, a simple chamomile, a lily, or something else. Most people prefer images with roses, which tend to be bright, large and detailed.
As for the plot component of such drawings, it depends on the master and owner of the future tattoo. It can be just a flower bud, or maybe a whole family of plants, braiding this or that part of the body, for example, an arm. In this case, the color of the flowers can also be different.
Supplementing the drawing with other various elements is not prohibited.
Most often, bright insects such as bees, butterflies or ladybugs are added to the images of flowers. Often, miniature birds are also used in such compositions, for example, the same hummingbird looks quite interesting on tattoos, especially if the master managed to beautifully and correctly beat the plot.
Other options
There are many other options for performing new school tattoos. For example, an hourglass. Such a tattoo looks not only beautiful, but also mysterious, because its meaning is very symbolic. Usually, hourglass symbolizes balance and time, its transience.

Fantastic stories are also very popular. Dragons, unicorns, aliens and other unusual creatures look very impressive on the skin.
Portrait tattoos can also be done in a new school style. Such drawings are popular and look interesting on both female and male bodies, however, they are rather difficult to perform. Therefore, if you want to apply a similar pattern to your body, you will have to pay great attention to the search for a good, talented and experienced master. Otherwise, the result may upset you.
Places of application
New cheekbone tattoos can be applied to any part of the body, be it the sleeve, chest, forearm, back or thigh. The choice of place depends primarily on the size of the tattoo, as well as on the wishes of its future owner.
On any part of the body, images of this kind will look bright if you really come across a good master who loves his job.
