New school & pop culture
in Antwerp

New school borrows the bold contour of traditional tattooing and gives it permission to misbehave. Colours get brighter. Proportions stretch. Expressions become larger than life. Cartoons, cult characters, food, creatures and everyday objects become vivid pieces with their own comic logic.

Becky Dee brings her Chicagoland roots and an illustrator’s sense of fun to this style at Argus Tattoo. The work may be playful, but the construction is serious: a strong silhouette, clean hierarchy and colour placed to keep the image readable.

Pop culture is welcome, from beloved characters to very specific obsessions. The aim is not to paste a logo or screenshot onto skin. It is to make a tattoo with the same spark as the thing you love.

Is new school right for your idea?

Choose it for bright colour, expressive characters, offbeat humour, fan art, cartoon energy and subjects that deserve to be a little louder.
