American traditional

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I have a basic knowledge of the topic and it interests me. It matters because tattoos are becoming more and more common in America, and American traditional tattoos are some of the first tattoos introduced to America. My first impression is that the article is well written and concise.

Evaluate the article
The article has a concise first sentence, however, the lead does not go into the major sections at all. The lead does mention the color pallet of American traditional tattoos and does not go into detail about it in the rest of the article. The lead is very concise and well written. The content is relevant and up to date, but it does not talk about the color pallet, which is an important aspect of American Traditional tattoos. The article does mention the influence of sailor tattoos on the style. The article is very informative, neutral, and just presents facts. Unfortunately, two of the five links do not work, but the ones that do are good up to date sources. This article is organized and well written and gets to the point. The images are well laid out and captioned, I think they represent the style of tattoo well. The talk page has very few conversations, but most of them are talking about the citations and how to fix them or make them better. The article is part of three projects including, body modification, fashion, and visual arts. I think this article is a good start, but there is a lot more that could be added. American traditional tattoos are very specific, especially with color pallets and the use of white or water to make grays.
