So colorful!
By Helen Luc — Written on Mar 31, 2017
When you were a kid, you probably played with watercolors at one point. Maybe you got to use them at school, or maybe your parents bought you a watercolor set so you could paint as a hobby.
Paint strokes from watercolor look fluid, light and slightly transparent. The watery consistency of the paint gives watercolor paintings have a very ethereal look.
Watercolors aren’t just for paper though; they look pretty darn good as a tattoo style.
Watercolor tattoos have recently gotten very popular. They add a splash of color to your body, and they make you look like a walking work of art.
If you were considering getting a tattoo and want something a little less conventional, then you can try getting a watercolor tattoo. These colorful tattoos make a statement while still looking artful.
They can add an otherworldly color to your body, and watercolor splashes can spice up an otherwise ordinary tattoo design. You can choose to have the color bold and splashy, or light and watery.
Either way, watercolor tattoos are a popular choice for many.
Don’t just take our word for it, though. If you want to see for yourself just how magical these tattoos look, continue scrolling below for 20 AMAZING watercolor tattoos.
