Tattoo style
Watercolor
Watercolor tattooing imitates watercolour painting: washes of colour, soft edges, drips and splashes.
Overview
About Watercolor
Visual markers to recognise Watercolor.
Colour is blended and allowed to fade out, often with little or no black outline. It can stand alone or be combined with linework that anchors the design.
Washes of colour
Diluted, layered tones like paint on paper.
Soft edges
Colour fades and bleeds instead of stopping at a line.
Drips and splashes
Painterly accidents used as composition.
