There are few times that in Tatuantes we have talked about the watercolor style tattoos, watercolor or watercolor, call them what you want. What is clear is that this It is one of the most modern tattoo styles that have come in the last few years and that I believe have come to stay with us for a long time. Following our series of articles in which we talk about the different styles of tattoosToday we will talk about the so-called watercolor tattoos.
Without a doubt and as we have been commenting previously, Watercolor style tattoos are one of the most artistic that we can find. And, if we delve into the different styles of tattoos (leaving aside personal styles of any tattoo artist), the "Watercolor" It is a style with which the tattoo artist can express himself artistically on a new level.
Outline or preset shapes are a thing of the past in this style of tattoos. And it is that as its name indicates, what is sought is to create the effect of a drawing created with watercolors, but on the skin, its difficulty is high and not all tattoo artists will be able to create the precise effect to amaze all those who admire our new tattoo. And it is not only due to the combination of colors, but to create the effect of diffusion and interleaving of them.
To create the different shades and thus be able to achieve the watercolor effect, the tattooists dilute the colors in water while also making different mixtures of them.. Something similar to what happens with Black & Gray tattoos in which black ink is diluted to obtain different gray scales.
As for the reasons for the watercolor style tattoos they are the most varied. The good thing about this style of tattoos is that you can take the typical rose or swallow and give it this style to get a more artistic style and abstract composition. However, there are not a few tattooists who mix this technique with other styles to obtain really beautiful and unique tattoos. In some cases, when the tattoo is very well done, there are those who even confuse them with a "Body painting".
