At Taggurrs Tattoos, we honor the legacy of tattooing with high-quality American Traditional designs that stand the test of time. Known for their bold black outlines, vivid color palettes, and iconic imagery, traditional tattoos make a strong visual statement — and we’re here to bring your ideas to life with expert execution.


Located in Yuma, AZ, our studio is led by Brent “Taggurr” Roman, a self-trained artist with 31+ years of tattooing experience. From anchors and skulls to roses, daggers, and nautical themes, we design each piece with precision, artistry, and respect for tradition.

What Are Traditional Tattoos?

Traditional tattoos — also known as “old school” or “American traditional” — feature recognizable symbols with clear outlines and solid fill. These designs are bold, clean, and built to last. Typical themes include:


  • Anchors, ships, and nautical symbols
  • Eagles, snakes, skulls, and panthers
  • Pin-up girls and military motifs
  • Hearts, roses, daggers, and banners



These tattoos are meant to be read easily and age well over time — a style that suits both seasoned collectors and first-timers.
