Watercolor tattoo designs look incredibly beautiful and very feminine. Many women prefer to get inked with watercolor because the tattoos have a subtle and soft quality to them. A good tattoo artist working with watercolor tattoo ink can make the colors merge beautifully, as in a painting. The trend of watercolor tattoos is still fairly recent and many folks prefer traditional black ink tattoos. However, if you want something more delicate and feminine on your skin, you can find plenty of watercolor tattoo ideas here!
The Controversy Surrounding Water Color Tattoos
In the tattoo community, there is a debate regarding whether watercolor tattoos age well or not. It is a well-understood fact that tattoo ink spreads as tattoos age. The dark and well-defined lines as characteristic of traditional tattoos are not present in watercolor tattoos. The question that has not yet been answered (given that the oldest watercolor tattoos are no older than 5-6 years) is whether watercolor ink tattoos spread and merge into a big undefined blob of color.
Some professional artists say that those who want to get a tattoo now, should not really be overly concerned with how the tattoo will look 20 years down the line. Moreover, tattoo touchups are fairly common and are even required for various tattoo styles. Other artists advise their clients against watercolor tattoos.
We believe that not every tattoo artist is skilled enough to pull off watercolor tattoo designs well. If you want one, take recommendations and get it from a tattoo artist whose work you really admire and can trust.
