If ink on the skin behaved like watercolor on a canvas
About
One of the fastest-growing styles, it mixes the aesthetics of traditional watercolor paintings with tattooing mastery. Being relatively new, many people still think these tattoos are made with a different technique from traditional tattoos. They are not. They just require the proper technique.
Design
This style is characterized by vivid colors that spread throughout the skin as if ink was spilled on a canvas. The colors can be used alongside a figure structured with black outlines and frequently the color spills over through this main image.
Despite the colors being the main attraction, it’s the work between shading and contrast that give this style it’s essence. The way the colors change gradient, flow through space and cross black lines, almost as if by mistakes, makes us forget that it was made with a needle and not a brush.
Natural elements such as animals, plants, trees, and people are frequently present. Although not as common, you can also find abstract watercolor tattoos and mixes with other styles, such as surrealism or anime.
