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

Fluidity, artistic expression, color and beauty as pure feeling.
