Watercolor Tattoo Ideas
Watercolor tattooing mimics the washes and bleeds of watercolor paint — loose, flowing color that looks like it was brushed on the skin. It is one of the most visually striking contemporary styles.
It works best layered over a strong line foundation or as color splashes around a solid black subject. Florals, birds, and abstract shapes all suit the style.
Meaning
